Death in Midsummer by Yukio Mishima
4.0

This was my first ever book by Yukio Mishima and certainly not the last. So excited to explore more of his work. I read it slowly or more like one short story at a time and thoroughly enjoyed his writing style.

My favorite stories were (in this order);

Patriotism
Dōjōji
Death in Midsummer
The Seven Bridges
The Priest of Shiga Temple and His Love
The Pearl.

Three Million Yen, Thermos Bottles, and Swaddling Clothes were good too but not the best ones out of the nine stories selected for this collection.
