Notes from Underground
VS
No Longer Human
In the Press
It's through elegantly excavating the particularities of his era that Dostoevsky strikes upon timeless truths, and with perspicacious analysis of behaviour, tunnels through to hidden depths.
Dazai threads the needle of writing about mental illness without seeming melodramatic, even with Yozo’s descriptions of feeling inhuman scattered throughout the book.
Throughout Notes from Underground, as in the majority of Dostoyevsky’s work, a tragic image of human nature is crafted, confronting the flaws inherent to mankind in an incredibly raw and brutal manner.
