mishima's novels have been some of the biggest disappointments, as he was mythologized as this psychotic esthete romantic who took his art so serious he killed himself publicly in order to realize it. In reality, of course, like most of the 'master oeuvre' or canon, there is very little worthy of analysis here beyond how absolutely misogynistic people are, and how much vile shit we call 'art' as just an excuse to be raging fucking losers; I thought there was something interesting in Yukio Mishima, and there still is on a metaphysical level, but the man's work is boring, trite, sexist, and most hilariously, puffed up as a monumental vision of the world. America sucks, buddy I agree, but calm down for just a second will you?
