Ningen Shikkaku is a semi-autobiographical novel, set in Japan in 1948, following the life of Yozo, who has some feelings about discomfort and isolation against society and distortions between others through his whole life.
Hi knack of pretending to be a fool somewhat attracts people. However, he is always afraid of strangers. Travelling through his life, his weaknesses are revealed. The reader cannot stop comparing themself with Yozo and exposure to ugly parts of humanity. You may sometimes feel disappointed with or hidden emotions but realise our warmthof humanity.
It is an interesting journey and worth a read.
