Symposium. But pretty much all of Plato anyway.

Read the artists of tragic Greece. Homer, Hesiod, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides are essential. Any great artist though.

he was gay and he hated communism and neoliberalism

desu i think part of his political posturing was another act of theater, a way of being a provocateur and contrarian to the neoliberal leanings of his time. it's not like he thought his coup would actually overthrow the government and reinstall the emperor as head of state. it was more a gesture of sacrifice in a theatrical mode, a way to point towards the way the country's soul was losing itself.

>pic related is the shrine he took his pen name after (his birth name was Hiraoka Kimitake).
