The Coup (Penguin Modern Classics)

Penguin Classics

The true interest in this book is that it reveals much about Mishima himself. He was a homosexual with a particular liking for beautiful boys and wealded enormous manipulative power over these young men notably those who assisted in his 'coup' and suicide by Hiri Kiri And the book overflows with Mishima's obsession on beauty and art. It was night and he could not see. On awakening he saw the water was pooled in a skull which made him retch,the enigma being that why should this be when the same water was beautiful the night before.

This riddle runs through Mishima's work and his philosophies of beauty and ugliness. Again, this is no pleasant book to curl up next to the fire with, but for Mishima devotees or people curious of this enigmatic man, its an insight into his disturbed life and mind.

Yuichi, a beautiful homosexual youth, is manipulated by the ugly, aging author Shunsuke to extract a bizarre revenge on women who have scorned him. Yuichi, as he comes to enjoy his powers of seduction over women he detests and delves deeper into Tokyo's gay scene, loses himself with his own Narcissism Though-as with all Mishima's work- this is a work of art,it is certainly no comfortable fireside read.

Ahead of its time,its detailed account of the gay subculture and sex may not have the impact it did 40 plus years ago, but it still is influential.

The term 'Gei' may well have become corrupted to the English 'Gay' and explain how the term came about. The true interest in this book is that it reveals much about Mishima himself.
