stop asking vague questions, faggot. Make substantiative threads and you might get substantiative answers.

>here, have a complimentary rare Mishima
Only read Confessions of a Mask and found it really good throughout the first half (good use of imagery and narrative flow) but then the second half turn quickly to shit.
I think he started to struggle with content (and how to meaningfully tie the whole thing up nicely) and so the second half is overly solipsistic to a point of almost no action taking place and instead the character starts drifting away in some internal trite psychological bullshit.
Liked it overall tho and am currently reading The sailor who fell from grace with the sea

that cover is dope. also a good book. read it. it's like 100 pages.

>> No.9302073

Which is better the sailor who fell from grace with the sea or the temple of the golden pavilion

I read confessions of a mask and patriotism and liked them both

I just finished reading that exact book in the OP
its hard to say, some parts of it made me a little angry with the characters, but honestly only because what they said I felt to be true on some level but didn't want to admit it (at least not so aggressively)

even the eluded to killing of Ryuji after the ending seems more like a sympathetic gesture than a cruelty, which did upset me a little because of the sympathy I felt for him and the mother.
