Eh. Mishima isn't great. Suck my dick.

Being penetrated by a sword was clearly a fetish Mishima had. His death was like David Carradine's
autoerotic asphyxiation.

Only the mainstream ones. Kawabata is kino though. Thousand cranes is an amazing book

When I read that I can only imagine the Buddha sat before a sun and being the depiction of true enlightenment in this moment. What a brilliant description. It's full, evocative, radical.

>The outstanding weakness of this, the final novelistic effort of Mishima Yukio-and indeed the major failing of the bulk of his work-is its striking inability to rise above the emotional and intellectual limitations of its author. Despite the efforts of his American publisher to persuade us that Mishima is to be ranked among the world's giants, this tetralogy demonstrates conclusively the absence of the profundity
necessary to substantiate such a claim.

>In its more than 1,400 pages of plots and subplots, births and rebirths, violence and sickness, we have a repetition of virtually every theme Mishima used in his earlier novels. From peepholes to ritual suicide, we have been through it all before, and we remain curiously unmoved. We are not convinced; we are not even shocked. He is a good writer with a well-developed sense of intrigue and suspense, but he is not a great writer. Much though one appreciates the attention Mishima's dramatic life has drawn to modern Japanese literature, one cannot but regret that he did not produce a novel more worthy of the world's lasting respect.

Of course.
This website is just a meme factory for rightoids.
This board is one of their most obvious campaigns.

Mishima is one of my favorite writers and I hate that, online at least, most of his fans are literal PewDiePie subscribers and larping /pol/tards. I didn’t even know about his life or beliefs when I started reading him, though obviously a lot of it is there in his writing. Now he’s some meme that gets spammed by people who haven’t read him or barely read him for being le based nationalist who worked out and stood up to the cuck government.

>> No.18336180

>>18334309
I read a lot. The problem is not only that pewDiePie mentioned him and that he’s right wing but also that he’s so readable in English and a good author. I’ve seen 6 posts in the last week that are like “I just started reading and all I’ve read is Mishima”.

I hate PewDiePie for what he did to this guy.

In reality, he is something of an obscure author. He is not widely read by anyone anywhere.
