yeah right. mishima wouldn't dirty himself in rice fields. he worked out and liked to carry a sword but the reality was that he was a prissy baby who made pseudo artistic excuses to not deal with reality.

The 'shima himself was maximum homo-gay, but his writing is pretty neutral.

His stuff's good.I have yet to be disappointed by it.

I've read 5 of his works and for the most part I've been impressed. Certain works such as the 'the sailor...' and the sound of the waves were disappointing, although 'the sailor...' was quite demented and made me feel slightly uneasy so I didn't regret it. Definitely try reading 'The temple of the golden pavilion' and 'confessions of a mask' though. Amazing stuff. I also loved patriotism although that was only a few pages long.

Confession time: I've never read Mishima. I did just recently DL some autobiography of his because his life seems fascinating.

I suppose I'd like to read at least one of his books beforehand, therefor please recommend me ONE title of his that will serve as a solid intro to his work. If i dig it, I'll read others.

Or Forbidden Colors

Or The Sound of Waves

Or The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Or The Sea of Fertility series

Just fucking read him, man.

It may be the only one I ever read, so make it count. Since you're the only response, I will guarantee to read your suggestion.

>>6896473
I'm not the other Anon. Confessions of a Mask might be good. The thing about it is that it's about him, so it's kind of an autobiography explaining how through several weird experiences he had growing up he became a chronologically displaced samurai/master of boipussi.

It's good for a base understanding of Mishima and his thoughts. If you want a straight up story I particularly like The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea but it's one of his weirder works.

I've only read Runaway Horses and I think it's good and extatic as far as the feeling of heroism goes. I don't want to spoil you the ending, but I'll say that it's kinda autobiographical as far as Mishimas coup is concerned. Apparently one of the characters is a carry-over from the first part of the tetralogy, Honda I think.

I personally love the part where the main characters views on woman are laughed at by his father and servant.

different anon here but I've read nearly everything available in English by mishima.

read sound of waves. well paced and one of the very few...maybe only book...that doesn't have a self indulgent shithead with peter pan syndrome as a protagonist.

Really? I loved Sound of Waves and especially Sailor. I've read just about the same books as you. The only one I really didn't like out of what I've read so far is Thirst For Love.

>> No.6899492

>>6897805
Thanks for the reply, you've definitely sold me on Runaway Horses. It's interesting that Honda is a carry-over as, though a prominent character, he wasn't particularly fleshed out in Spring Snow. He was essentially the cold, rational friend of the impulsive, emotionally charged protagonist. If I understood it correctly he was a remnant of an old regime growing up in modern Imperial Japan.

It has been a while.
