Review: The perfect novel. - In my Mishima binge it's easy to adapt to the feeling that each chronologically subsequent novel will become my latest favorite. It's another thing altogether to feel, upon reading The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea, that I've encountered my latest favorite, perfectly chiasmic novel of all. As much as I have come to appreciate with spontaneous astonishment the beauty and clarity of Mishima's descriptions, their integrity and definitive distillation of scene and psyche, it is the mastery and inevitability of the multi-various strands of narrative, intuitive and meditative counterpoint resultant in a skein of delusion, greatness in escalating factors of consummate cruelty,, solidity and innate hatred of it, trust in and betrayal by the best expectations of youth and innocence. This ricercare is woven of the interior and exterior voices of 13-year old Noboru, Ryuji, the eponymous Sailor, and finally, although we have seen her since the earliest pages, have indeed seen her first night with Ryuji through Noboru's Hitchcockean peephole into her room, Noboru's single mother, Fusako is finally named and eventually given voice to her dreams, doubts and equivocations. The overarching superego is horrifically, tragically cast as a prepubescent Animal Farm-like cult of nihilist pre-Incels. As frightening is their leader's, their disfigured Chief's anarchist manifestoes can be in their occasionally compelling moments of manipulation, there is a rite of passage involving cruelty to a stray kitten that will not only preclude my recommending this book to any of my fellow cat-lovers, but even more horrifyingly, serves as a mere appetizer of things to come, inexorably, inevitably.
Review: Compelling - More like an exquisite painting than a book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect novel.
*by C***Y on November 29, 2019*

In my Mishima binge it's easy to adapt to the feeling that each chronologically subsequent novel will become my latest favorite.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Haunting and Provocative
*by D***O on July 3, 2024*

**Title: Haunting and Provocative** **Review:** Yukio Mishima’s "The Man Who Fell from Grace with the Sea" masterfully explores youth, disillusionment, and the clash between tradition and modernity. The story of Noboru, a boy torn between admiration and resentment for naval officer Ryuji, delves into the darkness of human nature. Mishima’s poetic prose and stark themes create a chilling, thought-provoking narrative on the loss of innocence and the harsh truths of life. This is a compelling read for those who appreciate literary fiction that probes deeply into the human psyche. Highly recommend for those who appreciate literary fiction that delves into the darker recesses of human the experience!
