Yukio Mishima

Has anyone read any of his stuff? If so, what books?

I'm currently reading The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea, and I have to say, it's probably going to be one of my favourite books I have ever read. The way it's written has totally shocked me with awe.

sorry, can't say I have. I did just wikipedia him and the book though and both his life and his literature look really intriguing. I think he's another author I'm going to have to put on my ever expanding "must have a read" list.

I think I might even have seen it, though that would have been 30 years ago or so.

Haven't managed to get around to reading any Mishima as of yet, but I am very familiar with him as he was the last person recorded to commit seppuku, which I found extremely interesting.

That's right.:) He had an extremely interesting life.
