I finished this a while ago but couldn’t make much sense of it. Is it just an autobiography about him being a closseted homosex?
thirst for love
start at the beginning
Thats the jyst of it yeah. He's still an interesting character.

Try some of his short stories.
The Pearl, Patriotism and The Priest of Shiga Temple are good.
