The Sailor Who Fell from Grace With the Sea
by Yukio Mishima
I a really intriguing book. The subjects within this novel are rather dark yet written so beautifully. The story surrounds itself around a boy named Noburo who holds honour and masculinity very highly and once his mother new boyfriend contradicts his ideas, Noburo's ideas turn psychopathic. Noboru's whole character is rather unnerving, including the fact that he numbers his friends rather than calling them by their real names. Even though this is rather disturbing I would definitely recommend this as a read, but I would also suggest reading up on the life of Mishima to understand why he writes as he does.
