Here ya go buddy

Disregard the chart and just start with Golden Pavilion or Patriotism. Sailor is a chore to read.

I thought so too until I got a few dozen pages in and I was hooked.
One of my favourite females in any of his books and I felt genuinely sorry for her by the end.

Mishima.. easy on the patriotism.

>>9798805
Any reason to start with sailor rather than patriotism like >>9798846 said. Its 60 pages long and im more into mishima for the nationalistic stuff, miss me with that gay shit desu.

To everybody too lazy to read his work : go watch "Mishima: a Life in Four Chapters"

>>9798742
Confessions of a Mask
Sound of Waves
Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Then continue to read his other works.

>>9798742
Seppuku

What's it with Mishima and secret holes to watch other people having sex? I get that writers are bound to have recurring themes, but this is oddly specific.

i just bought 'thirst for love' but never see it get mentioned
did i fuck up?

>>9798742
Head down to the local gay club and slap another guy's ass.

when you look through a mask you're looking through holes.

>>9798742
I think his short stories capture his style better than a lot of his novels (since he wasn't the best novelist), but I'm the only one.

>>9798930
Just watch it in addition to reading his works.

>>9798742
I think first you will need to learn Japanese.

Real talk. Why is being an intellectual associated with homosexuality, now and with the Greeks/Romans? Every time I talk to my smartest friend (probs 160IQ) I just get the impression that he's some sort of closet homo.
