Mishima in a good mood?,
By Christopher Gordon "cmgventura11" (Southern Cal) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Five Modern No Plays (Vintage International) (Paperback)
I've been a fan of Yukio Mishima since I first heard of him and watched the film version of Mishima: Life in Four Chapters. I have friends who say he is too morbid, although I find his work deep, serious, it is also fascinating. In this collection, there is actually some bright spots, I even laughed during the first play. My old version of this book was regular paperback size, yellowed, and deteriorating. So I happily bought this newly reprinted version.There are five plays presented here of different topics and settings, but all are interesting. I wish there were more English translations of his works, I've read them all and want to read more.

Don't read this if you have a hatred for beautiful writing.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Five Modern No Plays (Paperback)
Stark and startlingly beautiful, these plays will grace, enchant, mesmerize and haunt you as long as you live. The No play is here proven to be a fully contemporary vehicle for the exploration of abiding existential questions even while tearing your heart out with the beauty of it all
