Mishima, Aesthetic Terrorist

Half a century after his samurai-style suicide, Yukio Mishima remains a controversial figure. Though his writings and life-story continue to fascinate readers, he has often been scorned by scholars, who view him as a frivolous figure. Andrew Rankin sets out to challenge this perception by demonstrating the intelligence and seriousness of Mishima's work.

La jumatate de secol dupa sinuciderea sa in stil samurai, Yukio Mishima ramane o figura controversata. Desi scrierile si povestea sa de viata continua sa fascineze cititorii, el a fost adesea dispretuit de cercetatori, care il privesc ca o figura frivola.
