Yukio Mishima
Acts of Worship
New York: Kodansha International, 1989.
First printing.
Seven stories of meticulous psychological observation, particularly concerning the turmoil of adolescence, which reveal the huge gap left by Mishima's ritual suicide in 1970.
He exemplifies Japan's skewed relationship with America, whose cultural trappings fill these stories of youth trying to define itself against the collapse of centuries of tradition.
As New in as new dust-jacket.
