Description

This collection presents ten tales of loss and longing by one of Japan’s greatest writers. A summer holiday turns to tragedy, a moonlit journey fulfils a wish, a couple find an unusual way to make a living, a young lieutenant ends his life, and a night brings a series of infidelities. The selection contains nine short stories and one modern Noh play, chosen by Yukio Mishima himself for translation. The pieces are by turns tender and delicate, ironic and shocking, revealing the strange pull between duty and desire, death and beauty. The volume is translated by Edward G. Seidensticker, Ivan Morris, Donald Keene, and Geoffrey W. Sargent. The contents are in English.
