A review by sambiddlestone
The Temple Of The Golden Pavilion by Yukio Mishima

5.0

incredibly insightful into the psyche of a deeply troubled author over a decade before he went fully insane - the seeds are clearly there, but it’s early enough, particularly compared to The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea, that this is a coherent and incredibly well written piece of work. mishima’s decline into fascism is one of the great literary tragedies
