Name a 20th century author with a greater number of outstanding works than Mishima. Pro tip: you can't. One of his most daring novels (Kyoko's House) isn't even translated yet because of the wealth of great material.

Well, Ernst Jünger for one. Giorgio Manganelli is another personal favourite of mine. They both wrote an astounding number of books, almost all of which are gteat.

Also, I don't believe I've read anything by Laszlo Krasznahorkai that ended up not being incredible

I do agree that Mishima is a great author and one of my all-time favorites but even I recognize that there are a lot of authors from the 20th century who had a similar output with consistent quality.
