Thank you for this introduction as I was unfamiliar with this author and now I want to read his work. The Sailor who Fell From Grace with the Sea. That title is so beautiful.

Thanks for a great focus yet again! I so so love Sailor but have only read excerpts of his other works. What is your favorite? He was a complicated man. I also like to think of him like you are describing despite the political turn he took. I did not realiZe how much these ideas played into his other fiction.

I loved Beautiful Star, that’s my favourite at the moment I think. Very complicated for sure yes.

WOW. I’d heard of Yukio Mishima here and there but never delved deeper. I def want to read his books now. “...often reveals the loneliness of those who do not conform.” Beautiful.

I love Mishima, though he always seemed to me a deeply troubled and odd writer, with many obsessions. The story of his death has always fascinated me.
