具体描述
Novelist, playwright, film actor, martial artist, and political commentator, Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) was arguably the most famous person in Japan at the time of his death. Henry Scott Stokes, one of Mishima's closest friends, was the only non-Japanese allowed to attend the trial of the men involved in Mishima's spectacular suicide. In this insightful and empathetic look at the writer, Stokes guides the reader through the milestones of Mishima's meteoric and eclectic career and delves into the artist's major works and themes. This biography skillfully and compassionately illuminates the achievements and disquieting ideas of a brilliant and deeply troubled man, an artist of whom Nobel Laureate Yasunari Kawabata had said, 'A writer of Mishima's caliber comes along only once every two or three hundred years.'

读后感
本书是世上最早几本三岛由纪夫传记之一(1974年英文初版,1999年修订)。现在看起来,作为早期的、非专业学者所写的二手研究,书中对三岛生平的探讨较无独特性,也不够深入,有一些内容已被推翻(例如说三岛和美智子皇后相亲过,现在一般认为这是三岛吹牛的),对作品文本的分...
事实上我确实是不那么喜欢日本文学,这里面不包括大众文学,我们都知道的,推理和侦探小说,在当代,及至整个亚洲,日本绝对是出类拔萃的。我说的是川端康成,芥川龙之介,大江健三郎,三岛由纪夫之流,就像一部源始物语,我读了两年还在止步不前,也许我更在意的是怎样的极...
“一位举世瞩目的作家命人斩下了自己的头颅”,这听着不像是真的。三岛的自杀很著名,但从前只当一则故事来看,直到昨夜翻阅了《美与暴烈》的第一部分:“最后的时日”,才因其对“切腹”过程的细致叙述,而被那种淋漓展现的血性所震慑,越是真实,就越觉得像在旁观一场噩...
三岛由纪夫的存在感是我见识中最为离异而发聩的。在他的意识中,完全颠覆了日常与疯癫的制衡,这种离经叛道的幻灭就在于,唯有他人眼中“表演”时的三岛才让他的精神世界感到皈依和真实,而三岛远离乖张的常人面目则让他时时感到“表演”的假面。这正是《美与暴烈》的可怕...
兰波一如既往带着氤氲的邪气说:“幸福,它的牙齿对于死亡是很柔软的”,这像是一个寓言,是农夫的胸膛与冬眠的毒蛇,是一座岛屿与肆虐的海啸。充承着斑点的无奈,与躲藏的可能,因此,伟大的兰波在22岁前就割断了精神与生命的脐带,在非洲的大陆上,上演他与死亡相逐的人生。 ...

对比着读了英文版、日文版和中文版,发现日文版的删节比中文版还多。这本好像过阵儿还会出新的中译本,不知道用的还是不是以前的译本。神奇
