Just finished "The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the sea" by Mishima, what does Yea Forums think of it?
Other urls found in this thread:
it's better than other books
Comfy as hell, liked the ending quite a bit
reactionary fascist trash
t. hasn't read it
I am fairly certain the parts where Mishima describes first seeing the undressing mom, the boat, the view onto the port and such gets lost in translation because they were nothing but cringey not even turid just cringy.
Over all the plot saves the (hopefully just) poor translation
I read the German translation and those parts were some of the best, very lyrical.
oh-no.
I have been reading the english translations solely because I suspect the rgeater conenction between america and japan would yield better english translations than german.
I have read all nip Yea Forums so far in english due to this reasoning. I hope I didnt gigantically fuck up by avoiding german translations.
>Have you read Endo - Silence yet?
I agree it was comfy. End actually fucking disturbed me though. Why would Mishima self insert as little boys that torture kittens to death?
Reactionary and fascist are 2 very different ideologies.
Now I want to read the German translation but it seems impossible to get. Bummer.
