Far more ponderous than "...Sailor who Fell from Grace...", TOTGP follows a young boy entering Buddhist priesthood. Mishima's again wondering about internal/external beauty, insistent that children are not childish and are capable of projecting adulthood, death and disappointing reality. More interesting here is boy's stutter, asking how we might translate out inner life to others as well as we experience it.

Vexing.
I have no understanding of Buddhism, which doesn't help me here. I have trouble following Buddhist logic and find myself baffled more often than not.
Even so baffled, violence, beauty and a wildly detached eroticism make compelling subjects as related by a scorned individual desperate for harmony.
And who isn't desperate for harmony?

Putting this on "currently reading" so I can get my ass off the couch, upstairs and outside to get it out of the car.
Hope it's worth it. Goodreads scores look a little high for it to be any good.
