The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima

Thirteen-year-old Noboru spies on his widowed mother through a hole in his bedroom wall. Through it he watches her fall in love with Ryuji, a merchant sailor, and for a while the sailor is everything a hero should be — the sea, distance, glory.

Then Ryuji gives up the sea to marry her and run a shop. To Noboru and the gang of boys he belongs to — cold, theoretical children who have decided adults are a form of decay — this is a betrayal that requires a verdict. Mishima writes their reasoning with terrifying clarity.

Short, precise and genuinely disturbing. One of the best introductions to Mishima's work.
