The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima

dark mysterious reflective fast-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No

3.25

really poetic, i see why people are drawn into his work but also can understand why this is not his most popular. a decent starting point in his ouevre that made me want to read more of his stuff more than i already wanted to. it fails on delivering a singular cohesive message beyond the surface level, i think. maybe too superficial/slapdash. but you get what he’s getting at anyway. kind of incel coded low key but the dark overtone-vibes were immaculate
