'Once again Mishima displays all the gifts which made him by the time of his death one of the few writers whose greatness was unquestionable. The shattering beauty is still there, the humour, eroticism, sensuousness, the fusion of passion and imagery…Mishima's greatness transcends cultural barriers' – Sunday Telegraph
'The present translation perfectly conveys the sharpness and selectivity of the author’s descriptions, his wonderfully acute sense of social and historical placing, and above all that unsparing apprehension, almost lost to Western literature, of worldly vanity' – The Times Literary Supplement
