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

dark reflective tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

you can really feel the author in the book. After learning about mishima and his life, his work takes on another dimension of tense uncomfortable fascination. I still think about this book years after I've read it.
