No doubt the most challenging read i've reviewed, it's totally worth taking your time to get through this. Mishima dealing with his homosexuality and masculinity. Extended musings about him masturbating to a certain favorite painting of his. Realizing, denying, hiding, giving up on his sexuality... he's really philosophical about how he organizes certain thoughts he had throughout certain parts of his life, but him psychoanalyzing himself with that big old vocabulary of his is pretty chef's kiss i gotta say.
