A great read. Honestly, i really like how unexpectable the structure is, even if some might argue that isnt that much of a good idea on a literary standpoint.

Very interesting to get your thoughts after rereading this classic. I just revisited it myself recently and I understand your criticisms but I also think a lot of that is why the novel works so well. It's a very acute portrait of a confused young man and while the reader doesn't have to agree with or subscribe to that point of view, it is still a fascinating and provocative perspective to consider. It was great to hear the parts that stood out to you that you had forgotten. I had a similar experience and just hearing you describe them brought me back. I also appreciate you pointing out that the translator inevitably has an effect on a text. Sometimes I wonder why Mishima didn't translate his own work since he spoke English himself. I really enjoyed your review and I am now a subscriber! Looking forward to checking out your channel!

What exactly is misogynistic in this book? I don’t remember misogyny

I didn’t remember the misogyny either, but then I reread the passage about joan of arc, and about the female cousin, and then all the manipulation of Sonoko, etc…

@@ABooktubeChannel I agree. Proclaiming himself a "conqueror" when he learned about Sonoku's wish to marry him shows that he only saw her has an object to be manipulated. He was elated that his manipulations were successful. He didn't value her as a person, only as a part of his "mask".
