    Strange, charismatic, crazy genius
  

*by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2012*

I'm so glad I found this biography.  I've enjoyed reading Mishima's books over the years and this now rounds out the experience to put more context to the author's life.  This book explains so much, from the impact of the appalling behaviour of grandmother and parents over much of his childhood, through to the bizarre last few months of Mishima's life.  I say bizarre as it's very hard to take seriously a coup being plotted in meetings at the Misty Sauna Baths!  And as it eventuated, the "coup" was more about theatre and fulfilment of a death wish than achievement of a (fascist?) revolution.  We hear of Mishima's confused and ambiguous sexuality, his blatant exhibitionism, his relationships with the literary fraternity - and the masochistic streak that drove his overwhelming obsession with his ideal of a beautiful death.  That uncertain boundary between genius and insanity was pushed to extremes - and then pushed again.I have had grave misgivings about Mishima's extreme right wing views - but much is forgiven as he was a brilliant and confronting author.  Perhaps it was as well that it all ended before getting altogether too ugly.  Keep this biography to hand as a reference point for when you next delve into his work.

    Comprehensive and detailed account of Mishima's life and death
  

*by C***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2010*

I have read the Stokes bio and personally I believe this is the better biography to date. I don't believe this bio to be tawdry at all. Nathan takes the reader on a fascinating trip into the live of the personal and somewhat bizarre world of Mishima, without being tawdry. A must!

    Mishima: A Biography
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2014*

Mishima is a writer easy to admire, but very hard to love--this biography reveals an even more difficult personality than suggested by the unsettling novels themselves. The author knew Mishima personally, and this adds a vividness to this biography.
