Is there anything that I need to read before I read this book?

literally fuck off from this board you prick.

That book and Sailor Who Fell from Grace are both good starting points for Mishima. I'd say go ahead.

Actually the /pol/ influx to /lit/ is relatively new.

Is this a hot new meme? No, you don't.

what's with /pol/itics and inconsistent purity tests?

>>9956876
no you don't, but some basic knowledge about imperial and post ww2 japan wouldn't hurt

Are you done with the Greeks?

There are a few solid biographies of Mishima. I'd recommend them to give context to his writings, as he's arguably only relevant because of his activities outside of literature.

It helps to see the temple, to understand what the narrator is talking about.

I take responsibility for this. Trigger enough reddittards in /pol/ book threads for their endless cock sucking of evola and they come here

>>9957802
relatively? A few years easily

>>9957872
/pol/ types dont actually care about anything, they just want reasons to hate things.

This, I'm a conservative and I feel embarrassed anytime lefties point out who my allies are.

>>9958688
Stop getting mad at the obvious bait you fag. It's some /leftypol/ fag posting the same shit in all the threads. Any time he finishes with "try the redpill" it's not a real /pol/ack.
>>9957872
/pol/ likes Mishima as much as they can like a nip. Stop replying to bait.

Not really.

Or maybe a book about Kyoto with lavish photographs.
