    Praise

    “A story that is both happy and a work of art. . . . Altogether a joyous and lovely thing.”
    —The New York Times “Of such classic design its action might take place at any point across a thousand years.”
    —San Francisco Chronicle “Mishima is like Stendhal in his precise psychological analyses, like Dostoevsky in his explorations of darkly destructive personalities.”
    —Christian Science Monitor
