Mishima, especially Decay of the Angel. Cuz of the cold, warped Aestheticism.

And made some god-like literature in the process.

Funfact: I think Mishima > Murakami but I still love Murakami. Am I Schizophrenic ?

Cute manlet and very good writer.

and this one.

Hi /lit/.

I was thinking of doing an independent literary study next year to take place of another class, however, i'm having trouble picking a specific thesis. One idea I had was "What makes a mentor, and how does society identify and define a mentor".

What kind of thesis would you study for a year? What topic would you pick? Or would you pick a certain author to cover?

Sea of Fertility is not depressing, it's beautiful. Especially the last book.

"The Decay of the Angel" is the best. He finished it the day before his death.

Because he was the real thing.
1) Old-school warrior mentality and pro-nuke ? Check.
2) Invading your country's department of defense and taking hostages ? Check.
3) Making a bad-ass speech in front of agitated soldiers ? Check.
4) Trying to sudoku with the help of your gay lover ? Check.
5) Leaving a beautiful death poem ? Check.
6) Gay lover blotches everything, so another guy cuts your head off ? Check.
7) Gay lover follows you to the grave some minutes after that ? Check.
8) Actually finishing your quadrology masterpiece on the day of your dead ? Check.

Good. It's as empty as Kerouac. I would like to hear something of a putrid, decaying angel standing in an ocean populated by Ediacara fauna. It's a vision a guy with a brain tumour on painkillers has while digging a tunnel deeper and deeper into biological strata, which will become his own grave.

I don't care. He was an emo faggot who could write some interesting stuff.

I'm not a nationalist, but Mishima was definitely a good writer.
Generally nationalist writers are interesting.
