A baby but a nice time. Mishima's style again pulls through the translation well, it seems. Certainly not a crucial work but interesting and worth the afternoon or less one might spend on it. There are better ways of getting into YM- I'd point to The Sailor, but I'm not yet broadly acquainted enough to say with confidence. Anyway. He's ridiculously talented and it hurts. Also nice to see Japanese cinema discussed in this way- nicely familiar lately thank you very much for that brief, specific part of your life, Yukio, and no other xoxo

A novella about a bitter film star working in a seemingly cruel industry. Not much plot! A story with no redeeming characters.
