Weigh Up Epithetical Books The Sound of Waves
The first couple of times I read Mishima, he left me feeling a little cold, and I wasn't in any rush to return to him. But return to him I did, after picking up this in a charity bookstore recently. And this simple tale of boy-meets-girl easily eclipsed the other Mishima books I'd read. It is, in all intents and purposes, a little work of art, that captures the purity of love and candor of youthful desire beautifully. He handles his story is a maturely and realistic conceived way, that never

Shinji and Hatsue live on the tiny Japanese island of Uta-Jima (Song Island), where they fall in love. Shinji is a poor young fisherman, and Hatsue is a pearl-diver, and the daughter of the terrifying Terukichi Miyata, the richest man on the island. Naturally, Terukichi wants his daughter to have nothing to do with the boy she loves.Any story about two young lovers whose families get in the way of their happiness is bound to be compared to Romeo and Juliet. The Sound of Waves is the

I'm probably crazy and am imagining a considering feeling between Yukio Mishima and me. I'm feeling like he's a kindred spirit kind of author who wants the same kinds of things that I wanted. (Past tense, I mean. For him, not me. I want.) Pretend I'm not crazy. What if The Sound of Waves was a beautiful story about young love between two young and loving individuals? Shinji, a simple guy who liked simple, pure at heart things like providing for his family and village. Not simple life stuff like

A beautiful, simple and classic story of the trials of love. Also, these Vintage editions are just gorgeous.

I came into The Sound of Waves directly after reading Mishima's The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea, and the contrast was jarring. In The Sound of Waves, Mishimas fetish for manliness is leeched of the corrupting influences that pervert the protagonist, Noboru, in The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea. Mishima paints the setting of Uta-Jima as an idyllic microcosm of the traditional Japan that he seems to yearn for. In general, the plot mirrors the idealism of the setting by paring

If you love the sea as I do, then please dont hesitate to read this book. I love my mountains, yes, but I also adore the sea. If I dont go to a beach every few months, then I feel like there is this piercing absence of a good friend from my life. In The Sound Of Waves Yukio Mishima brings the sea alive - its rhythms, forms, and essence. At heart, this is a simple love story. But like most of the Japanese authors I have read, there is a lyricism that touches you. There is a Zen-like poetry to the

Ive read a half-dozen novels by this Japanese author. All have been dark, focused on planning secret rebellions, a planned murder, ritual suicide, death and reincarnation. The author himself headed up a ritualistic right-wing group and ended up committing ritual suicide. So imagine my surprise to find Im reading a book about first love with a happy ending! (We know this from the blurbs on the cover, so Im not really giving away plot.)Its a coming-of-age story of a young man on a small Japanese
