Synopsis

The handsome Ye Zang comes from a wealthy family. He has seen the warmth and coldness of human nature since he was a child, and has to play a clown to seek recognition. After growing up, he was influenced by bad friends and suffered a blow from his wife. He felt guilty for his own incompetence and was completely disappointed in others. He drank drunkenly all day long until he was destroyed.

Reader comments

This book is very charming. Dazai Osamu integrated his own experiences and thoughts into the protagonist Ye Zang, making people empathize with him. His portrayal of human nature is really penetrating, reminding me of Songzi in "The Life of the Disliked Songzi". Osamu Dazai's writing is very delicate, allowing people to feel his inner pain and struggle. Although he is a "rogue" writer, his works can make people think deeply. This book "Disqualification in the World" is definitely worth reading!
