No Longer Human | whispered & soft spoken ASMR

Description

No Longer Human, by Osamu Dazai, is one of the best selling Japanese classics of the post-war period, published in 1948 after his death. I recently read it and loved it, largely for how it exposes the nature of a life lived with suspicion rather than trust, when the capacity to trust has been robbed by the cruel actions of people.

Today, we discuss the book in a whisper, then turn to a soft-spoken exercise proposed in the novel, organizing words according to the tragic and comic.

At 24:46, I stop whispering and begin the soft spoken portion of the video. You can turn there if you are not fond of whispering 😊

I hope you enjoy, and pick up the book if you haven’t already.

Love,
Jessa ❤️
