Death in Midsummer, and Other Stories
Author(s): Yukio Mishima
Mishima's own selection of his best and most essential stories.
Nine of Yukio Mishima's finest stories were personally selected by te Japanese writer himself; they represent his extraordinary ability to depict, with deftness and penetration, a wide variety of human beings during significant moments. His characters are geisha who request wishes from the moon, sophisticates who scorn yet follow tradition, and seppuku-committing soldiers and their loyal wives who follow them in death. This edition includes one of Mishima's "modern Noh plays," remarkable for its uncanny intensity.
