Why is this book so fucking impossible to find in print? It's been out of print forever despite being fairly popular, and when you do find a used copy of it, people ask like $100-$300. Does someone not want us reading this? If so, why?

It doesn't hard eyesight.

It's an obscure rambling pamphlet, read literally any of his novels instead for greater insights and better quality prose.

I found it at a bookshop for seven Australian dollars and bought it.

Bought this shit 8 years ago on the recommendation of a friend when it was in print before Mishima was an internet meme. It certainly seemed like rambling nonsense when I read it at the time. I've heard since that the translation is shit as well. Mine is still in perfect condition I wonder if I could actually get $100 for it.
Justin Evans
Is this one worth that kind on money too?

It seemed like that at first to me when I didn't have a proper frame of reference to understand his ideas. It's just very abstract -- that and his obsession with death is confusing and alienating to non suicidal normies.

It's way cheaper in spanish.
Jeremiah Howard
If I have the money would it be retarded to buy one for 100 bucks?

No way hosay.
You'd be better of buying the complete works of Aristotle.

Those are yens, not USD. That's less than 80 USD.
Colton Price
It would be far cheaper to find an ebook and print it out yourself.
Grayson Price
lel, would have been a good cover if they skipped photoshopped Mishima
Jacob Young
Where are you from, OP?
Anthony Hernandez
That's not photoshopped, fren. His body was a temple

It's fun to compare this with Murakami's book on running. Where Mishima is obscure, Murakami is clear. Where Mishima is grandiose, Murakami is humble. Where Mishima is death-driven, Murakami is life-affirming. Where Mishima mythologizes his strength, Murakami writes about his failures and insecurities. Where Mishima paints himself as the superior individual, Murakami points out his averageness.
