Yukio Mishima
Madame de Sade
New York: Grove Press, 1967.
First printing.
An unusual work, centered on the figure of the Marquis de Sade's wife and involving an all-female cast of her family and friends.
Mishima's own preoccupations with themes of duty, sexual rebellion, guile and lack of principles finds a ready echo in the life of the divine Marquis, whose presence haunts the play.
Very good hardcover, with jacket.
