I finished reading The Sound Of Waves, i loved the prose but it was too happy for me.
Did Mishima wrote any sad, soul-crushing book?

Lol are you fucking kidding?
Joshua Reyes
'no'
Ayden Hill
Basically all of Mishima's works are sad and soul crushing. Take your fucking pick.
William Butler
Confessions of a mask
Forbidden colours
i like homo erotic mishima more.

>too happy
Depends on how you look at it. The ending kind of spoiled it for me where where Shinji credits himself, and not the thought of Hatsue's photo, that took him through the storm.
Matthew Adams
Then what work is the most soul crusing?
Austin White
His Sea of Fertility tetralogy. He finishes the last book before he offs himself
Xavier Brown
Nice.
Thanks user.
I am more interested on suicidal mishima and nationalist mishima, but thanks anyway.
Hudson Foster
Please, God, just one dick pic.

Read this.

It's literally just 50 pages, and fucking well-written.
Lucas Morgan
Mishima was totally gay, right? There's no way you write Confessions of a Mask without being homosexual.
Also, armpit fetishes weird me out.
Lucas Turner
He was bi, wasn't that big a deal to him. He loved the aesthetics of youth, no matter the gender
Gavin Sullivan
Well, he was probably in reality bisexual if you ask me. I doubt someone who was exclusively gay would have a wife and children.
Blake Cruz
Fair enough.
Chase Morgan
I am reading Confessions of a Mask right now and it is all kinds of fucked up. Everysingle page reeks of his future suicide.
Camden Nguyen
A lot of Mishima's shit was sad, but none of his works got to Dazai level soul-crushing.
Xavier Johnson
Just uploaded one of Mishima's plays (Primary Colors) that is not in any of any the books collections, previously behind an academic paywall.
An excellent companion piece and in many ways the opposite to "Forbidden Colors", both dealing with homosexuality but in different ways
Asher Brown
how was sailor a happy book? every single character was totally unlikable and some totally idiotic and crazy.
I wouldn't say mishima wrote sad books. there are definitely dark themes....but more like books for 20-somethings to motivate them to get off their asses with macho bullshit philosophy with romantic notions with very little basis in reality.
try kenzaburo oe's "the silent cry."
that's a pretty dark and fucked up book but very good.
Kevin Roberts
Mishima told Dazai in person that he hated his work.

Just rival homolust

You sound like you've never read anything by Mishima

Different books brah
Cooper Martinez
Na it was perfect. Would have been way too cheesey/cliche if it was the photo that got him through it
Connor Perry
I've actually read 9 of his books. maybe more. 9 that I can remember well.
no. sound of waves is the only book with a protagonist who wasn't a quixotic brat.

Could have done without it and delivered the same effect.
