Book Synopsis


Trade Review
A stunning addition to the oeuvre of one of postwar Japan's greatest storytellers * Wall Street Journal *
Mishima's novels exude a monstrous and compulsive weirdness, and seem to take place in a kind of purgatory for the depraved -- Angela Carter
Mishima was one of literature's great romantics, a tragedian with a heroic sensibility, an intellectual, an esthete, a man steeped in Western letters who toward the end of his life became a militant Japanese nationalist * New York Times *
Mishima is the Japanese Hemingway * Life Magazine *
A writer of immense energy and ability * Time Out *
A startlingly modern, hypervisual jewel; it could be a really interesting movie. It was mesmerizing, seeming to fall in my hands from an alternative sky. -- Patti Smith
