Sun and Steel. Hardcover – 1 Jan. 1970

One of the many autobiographies that Mishima wrote in his life this book gives you a clear view of who he was at the time it was written. It can be a difficult to understand if you decide to read it all in one breathe. His thoughts and feelings develop in strange patterns and shaped that one can only follow if they take time to think over what they had just read before moving on.Reading this book it is very clear that he was a very disturbed man with a lot of issues that he tried to sort out but not always successfully. People that have read books like "The Life and Death of Yukio Mishima" (highly recommended) will find "Sun and Steal" to be the perfect compliment and to give that extra bit of information that you do not get from the other book.I would recommend this book to people that can appreciate Mishima's unique stile or writing and can understand the self-loathing he went through during the span of his short but creative life.
