Is this a book about fist-fucking?

No, just fucking.

Yep, Mishima seems to be respected around here. And personally, he's one of my favorite Japanese authors.

>> No.911817

I received Confessions of a Mask today as a matter of fact. I haven't read it yet so I can't say if I like him or not but I imagine I will.

if, by manliness and honor, you mean being super overly nationalistic, almost to the point of being a "fundie" Japanese person, than yes...i guess he did

Acts Of Worship is my favorite by him

I can't for the life of me figure out how he married a woman after "Confessions of a Mask".

He practically begged for a reason to kill himself

>> No.911902

>>911886
this, he dreamed of dieing in a way that is glorious, and so full of honor, that the rest of Japan would shit their pants and realize that yes, the way of the samurai is the way that everyone should go.

Problem is that the way the samurai *actually* worked was a lot more the way today's professional athletes worked. All that "honor" shit? Yeah, about as much as it is these days.

Too bad that our culture is Christian and that we do not value suicide

>> No.911968

>>911962
our culture is not christian, it is capitalist. the reason suicide is looked down upon and is even illegal is because if suicide were an option for most people, then they probably would refuse to confrom to so much of the bullshit in their everyday life. It's like when people say ''how would you live if you knew you could die at any moment"? with suicide, you can!

Dude is low-tier for Japanese authors.

If he hadn't killed himself no-one would really care. The old cliché of death doing wonders for your career applies here.

Who would you say are the better Japanese authors?

>> No.912034

shit, why is this book so cheap?
do the french subsidise their book industry?
I reckon you can get new books for 2€ in germany, too, but 2€ will mean no photo on the cover and at most 120 pages...

>> No.912040

Soseki, Kawabata, Akutagawa, Tanizaki - all are a lot better in my opinion.

I love Yukio Mishima. His short stories are great.
