Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers interested in the intersection of psychoanalysis and literary narrative
- Readers who enjoy unreliable narration and psychological suspense
- Literature enthusiasts studying the arc of Mishima Yukio's works
- Writers interested in the notebook and case-history forms of fiction
Not a good fit for
- Readers expecting conventional plot progression and a clear ending
- Readers impatient with psychotherapeutic terminology and clinical description
Reading tips
- First read through for the treatment thread, then go back and trace the suspect points in the doctor's narration.
- As you read, note changes in Reiko's words and behavior and check them against the doctor's judgments.
- Compare with the way Mishima handles characters' psychology in his other works.

About the author
Yukio Mishima (1925–1970) was a Japanese novelist and playwright, born Hiraoka Kimitake in Tokyo and a graduate of the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo. He established his literary standing with Confessions of a Mask in 1949, and went on to explore beauty, desire and death in a coolly refined and intensely aesthetic style. His major works include The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, The Sound of Waves and the tetralogy The Sea of Fertility, whose volumes Spring Snow, Runaway Horses and The Decay of the Angel are available in Chinese. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature several times. On 25 November 1970 he committed seppuku at a Self-Defense Forces base, and his life and writing have remained a subject of public discussion. The library holds 84 of his works, mostly under foreign literature, young adult literature and classics.
Lan Liliang is an author and translator active in the field of foreign literature, though publicly available information about him is limited; the library currently holds six of his works. His representative translations include The Hunger for Love from the Yukio Mishima series, as well as the Japanese popular literature works Nemuri Kyoshiro Murai-kyo (Volume One) and the three-volume boxed set. His credits also extend to works such as Music, The Death of Radiguet, and The New Hamlet. Judging from the existing catalogue, Lan Liliang's work focuses on the translation and introduction of Japanese literature, balancing classic authors with genre fiction so that Chinese readers can better understand and receive Japanese literature.
