Which Mishima books go into his philosophy on death, sacrafice, etc.? Anonymous Wed Jul 12 03:05:45 2023 No.22252508 [Reply] [Original]

I've read Sun and Steel and The Sailor who fell from Grace with the Sea, but how should I continue? Would Confessions of a Mask be a logical next step, or should I start with his Sea of Fertility Tetralogy. Or maybe The Temple of the Golden Pavilion? I will probably end up reading all of these but I'm stuck as to where to go next.
