All of this peeping through a small hole to watch other people being naked or have sex in a very creepy way seems to truly be a thing in Japanese literature it seems. But I do draw the line at children doing exactly that as well as animal cruelty. I don't need to read about a bunch of teenagers that think they are so much smarter than the rest of the world killing and mutilating a kitten page after page. Also, that ending was... Something. I gave him a chance but this was the last attempt at Mishima for me.
Usually I'd try and get behind the imagery and meaning in Japanese fiction but this story lost me at about page 40 l, which was about when I was done with all the sea imagery and those teenagers who very clearly aren't quite right in their head but I don't even know why.
I only finished it because I already dnfed the last Mishima book that I read but that is it for me.

"bir amip olsaydım, sürekli bölünebilir bir tekhücreli olsaydım, çirkinliği yenebilirdim, diye düşündü. oysa insan, hiçbir şeyi yenebilecek oranda ufak ya da büyük değildi."

5. bölüm benim için travmatikti diyebilirim. bir süre unutmaya çalışacağım o kısmı.

Um romance maravilhosamente perturbador que segue o fatal destino de Ryuji, um marinheiro que outrora perdera qualquer ligação à terra; por outro lado, seguimos a pequena vida de Noboru, uma criança que apenas o é na sua altura.
Qualquer desconforto que se possa sentir ao longo do livro é provocado por Noboru, um menino que, juntamente com o Chefe e os seus "amigos", vive não como uma criança, mas sim como um adulto disfarçado que acha que percebe o mundo e as pessoas à sua volta. Por este motivos, foge aos pensamentos infantis próprios da idade e faz coisas inexplicáveis no sentido negativo da palavra.
Ryuji é a sua vítima, Noboru é o seu destino: uma relação que acaba de uma maneira difícil de imaginar.
Adorei.
