Thinking of reading Mishima's tetralogy. Is it any good?

I've read all 4 books. It's about a man who in his youth loses his best friend, but continues to meet him re-incarnated four times, each book is one re-incarnation.
It's the kind of books where the story is used to convey an aesthetic quality, and that quality is actually the meaning of the whole thing. With the exception of "Runaway Horses", where it's a bit too patriotic/edgy/sudoku for my taste, the books are unusually beautiful, especially the last one "Decay of the Angel".

Just bought this booker cheap second hand, came with a ticket stub from a waiting for godot theatre production someone was using as a bookmark

what's edgy in them?

Is it explicitly gay or is it just 'n-no homo'?

>Beyond doubt it would speedily verify the proverb that a man must ravage itself before foreigners can ravage it, a man must despise himself before others can despise him

Too uncomfortable for cosmopolitan "citizens of the world"
