anywhere you fucking retard
naming a book would've taken less words and saved us both time
What's there to fucking get or miss? If you think Yukio-Chan is kawaii read Confession of a Mask, otherwise The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea.
I don't know I just didn't understand what the point of a lot of the things that happened was
those two both sound much more interesting. thanks for being helpful
Maybe watch a documentary on the fellow first or get a quick brush up on Japanese history around WW2.
>didn't understand
really? it's a pretty simple premise, great book though. look up a bit on Meiji Era Japan, other than that I don't know what to tell you. the main theme is the destructive nature of beauty, to put it (a bit too) simply. also, I would read Confessions of a Mask or watch that BBC doc to learn a bit about him.
The Sailor... is my favorite Mishima book so far, definitely check it out. Haven't read Confessions of a Mask yet, so I can't vouch for it but I'm sure it's quality.

I'm reading both of them starting with the sailor
I doubt you could go wrong with someone as great as him
It's about the beauty of destruction. And how beautiful things should be destroyed eventually. Elegance and brutality. It's also about world war 2 in Japan and post war occupation and a stutterer and the way he gains control of his words and world.
