Review Quotes: "Perfect beauty.... A classic of Japanese literature."
--Chicago Sun-Times

"Mishima was one of literature's great romantics, a tragedian with a heroic sensibility, an intellectual, an esthete, a man steeped in Western letters who toward the end of his life became a militant Japanese nationalist."
--Jay McInerney, The New York Times
