Product Name
Vintage International: The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (Paperback)
Product Description

A haunting portrait of a young man s obsession with idealized beauty and his destructive quest to possess it fully--and the book that established Mishima s claim as one of the outstanding writers of the world (The New York Times). Because of the boyhood trauma of seeing his mother make love to another man in the presence of his dying father Mizoguchi becomes a hopeless stutterer. Taunted by his schoolmates he feels utterly alone and develops a childhood fascination with Kyoto s famous Golden Temple. While an acolyte at the temple he fixates on the structure s aesthetic perfection and it becomes his one and only object of desire. But as Mizoguchi begins to perceive flaws in the temple he determines that the only true path to beauty lies in an act of horrific violence. Based on a real incident that occurred in 1950 The Temple of the Golden Pavilion brilliantly portrays the passions and agonies of a young man in postwar Japan bringing to the subject the erotic imagination and instinct for the dramatic moment that marked Mishima as one of the towering makers of modern fiction.
