About

In 1970, Nobel Prize nominated writer Yukio Mishima stepped out onto a Tokyo balcony and in front of a gathering of troops, pushed a sword into his stomach. His disciple then completed the hara-kire ceremony by beheading him. Mishima: A Biography is the riveting story of a truly original figure in world literature. John Nathan reveals his horrific childhood, sado-masochistic thoughts and ultimately consuming fascination with death. Few biographies portray such darkness and unflinching truth.
