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
我一生不安的总帐,犹如一纸菜单,在我还没能读懂的时候,就赋予我了。——三岛由纪夫 三岛由纪夫,生于1925年1月14日。摩羯座。但他全然颠覆了我对摩羯座踏实、沉稳的印象。我一直觉得他更象处女座,矛盾、自恋、偏执和某种天生的看透世事的虚无。 他在上个世纪70年代自编自导...
公元1970年,三岛由纪夫时年45岁。这一年,他终于完成了四部曲《丰饶之海》的最终卷《天人五衰》;也就在这一年,他带领包括森田必胜在内的其他四名盾会成员,在东京新宿区市谷本村町陆上自卫队东部方面总监部胁持了将军益田监利为人质,并最终按照事先制定的计划,与森田一起...

“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...
书极有诚意。但后半部比前半部好。因为作者60年代才第一次见到三岛本人,其后有了个人交往,写出的东西也有了实在感:三岛是可见的。而对于这位作家的前半生,作者多由作品及文献推测,但这样其实是非常不靠谱的。文字仿佛是表达意念与精神的最佳方式,却也由此可称之为最佳伪...

The explanation for Mishima's death lies in his entire life.
三岛由纪夫一生的故事。总的来说是很好的传记,作者是三岛的朋友,资料充足,分析听起来也合理,但有些地方不是太确定因为作者日语能力和对东亚历史文化的了解有限。了解了三岛创作的不同时期,也确认了以前的一些猜想。从50年代末虚无主义时期开始他就在寻找出路,但根本找不到出路。他的死让我想起被太阳虫侵入大脑的索哥,虽然在旁人看来是一场闹剧,但哪怕自我欺骗也好,至少那个时刻他相信自己所践行的美学。就赞美太阳好了。虽然这么说有点不近人情,但也实在想不到在写完丰饶之海之后他怎么才能不死,他还能干什么呢,难道去东大讲文淆理论吗?之前看小说的时候就有一个感觉,三岛就像一只蛋鸡,一生只能下一千个蛋,全部下完就要被宰杀,然后加盐料酒葱姜八角花椒酱油小火慢炖配米饭食用。别后不知春雪霁,人生真是一场虚空大梦呢。
