he sailor who fell from grace with the sea – Yukio Mishima

A classic concise tale from Mishima about becoming a ‘real’ man. Actions speak louder than words, and Mishima’s thirteen year old anti-hero despises his step-father’s submission to his mother. A haiku of torment, and Mishima is showing signs of the psychosis that drove him to commit seppuku in 1970. Do you feel his anger and disappointment – then book yourself some psychoanalysis smartish.....
