Death in Midsummer & Other Stories by Yukio Mishima

Recognized throughout the world for his brilliance as a novelist and playwright, Yukio Mishima is also noted as a master of the short story in his native Japan, where the form is practiced as a major art. 

Synopsis: Nine of his finest stories were selected by Mishima himself for translation in Death in Midsummer & Other Stories; they represent his extraordinary ability to depict, with deftness and penetration, a wide variety of human beings in moments of significance. Often his characters are sophisticated modern Japanese who turn out to be not so liberated from the past as they had thought.
