About this item:

Review

This morose little gem boasts its share of sensuous depravity ― Wall Street Journal

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 ― New York Times

Mishima is the Japanese Hemingway ― Life Magazine

A writer of immense energy and ability ― Time Out

A sexually and psychologically complex novel... in a honed translation by Andrew Clare ― TLS

From the Back Cover

Koji, a young student, has fallen hopelessly in love with the beautiful, enigmatic Yuko. But she is married to the literary critic and serial philanderer Ippei. Tormented by desire and anger, Koji is driven to an act of violence that will bind this strange, terrible love triangle together for the rest of their lives. A starkly compelling story of lust, guilt and punishment, The Frolic of the Beasts explores the masks we wear in life, and what happens when they slip.
