I tried reading Sun and Steel got as far as maybe 50% of the book. I didn't get it guys, English is not my native language but I don't usually have problems reading books in english, it felt off, maybe it was the translation? This was in 2020, should I retry? is the book really worth it?

a modern rescore that I prefer.

Mishima transformed his body into steel but he was also a great scholar, his knowledge encyclopaedic. He was a controversial novellist, but the most important playwright in post-war japan.
Following his trajectory from Confessions of a Mask to his suicide feels quite natural, his trajectory obvious but he was actually seen as a eccentric dandy in japan, similiar to David Bowie perhaps (who admired Mishima). Nobody took his ideology/philosophy seriously, which is one of the motivators for his suicidal act. He did not find any fertile ground for his beliefs in a japanese society that considered him a highly-talented but amusing oddity.
If we consider his last written words "Human life is limited but I would like to live forever.", noted on his last day of life, we must consider that he particularly alluded to his philosophy, he wanted to give his ideas on culture and life an iconic and undoubtable air, he wished to escape dying as a mere creature of media attention, a mere novelist and artist, and immortalize his ideas so that a future, reactionary and true-hearted generation of men could be fostered by his works. Particularly his novel runaway horses can be seen as purposefully radicalizing readers who emphasized with his perspective, and it did play a large role in his creation of the tatenokai. Which is something i failed to mention. He created a private militia, with the purpose of training fanatics of the emperor. It is noted in one of the biographies that their exercises were akin to childrens games. He wished to elevate the Tatenokai into a serious symbol of modern resistance by utilizing them in his coup d'etat and ritual suicide. y0s0y

Read picrelated, it's Mishima at his most honest, and gives good insight into the human reality of the actuality of his harsher values.
Coupled with the fact that Mishima begged his friends not to kill themselves for the sake of honor during their coup attempt, it shows a more moral, more human side of a man who so often tried to present himself as an unflinching badass the way so many wannabe fascists do.

I'm retarded and forgot the pic
