I don't remember much about pic related, except that it was kinda pervy (but ultimately wholesome, I think). About women working in the world's most chaste brothel, where men pay to spend the night next to sleeping women.

oh yeah it's him. Heard about him from my friend, but forgot the name so I couldn't search his book

Any book recommandation from him ? Struggling to choose between prewar vs postwar book

I hear the guy who owns this site has a book out now. Try that maybe?

>reading Mishima because he's "creepy" and "perverted"
Imagine being such a brainlet that anything past the bare surface of the prose flies completely over your head.

That's literally just a self-help book for middle-managers.

It really doesn't matter. I've read I think four novels, a novel length essay and two short story collections by him and everything was great.

OP here. I'm in library right now trying few chapters of 5 kinds of Junichiro's book and I like Naomi the best. It is more consistent and reader friendly in a sense that the focus is MC's desire

The Lake, also by Kawabata, is more pervy and creep, and better, too. Read it, OP. Mishima loved Kawabata.

Still excited for the translation.

Just the thread I was looking for
What is /lit/'s guide to reading Mishima? What do I read first? What should I expect?

It doesn't really matter to much. The Sound of Waves is pretty atypical but asides from that start anywhere. I would personally recommend Spring Snow. I think it's hands down the best thing he has written and it leaves you free to read Runaway Horses (the first and second books of his tetralogy respectively) which is another of his best.
