5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning, astonishing play, full of unusual insight, November 7, 2004
By 
This review is from: Madame de Sade (Paperback)
This is from Tony Saroop's excellent review of the play:

Mishima's "sensibility is closer to and retains elements of an archaic, pagan, 'pre-Christian' sensibility, a sensibility we have completely lost touch with, but which Sade seems to have tapped into and evoked out of his inner self. . . .

"I think this is why Western scientific scholarship, with its naive belief in the efficacy of rational discourse, a form of discourse which does little more than generate disagreement, has not and never could give us a full and satisfactory explanation of the Sadeian mystery, which is also the deep, repressed mystery of ourselves. There is something in Sade which rises above the rational, something that only poetry can comprehend, and which Mishima has attempted to evoke [with] great poetic beauty."
