Forbidden Colours by Alfred Marks
Shunsuke's novels are serene, romantic and pure. His life, however, is another matter. Embittered by three broken marriages and unsatisfactory affairs, his abiding passion is revenge. His only pleasure is derived from witnessing the suffering of womankind.
Yukio Mishima was born in 1925 in Tokyo, and is considered one of the Japan's most important writers. His books broke social boundaries and taboos at a time when Japan found itself in a state of rapid social change. His interests besides writing included body-building, acting, and practising as a Samurai. In 1970 he attempted to start a military coup, which failed. Upon realising this, Mishima performed seppuku, a ritual suicide, upon himself. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for literature three times.
