![]() I do believe the other is a "better" book, but there's something about Star that really worked for me. I said in my review of The Sailor Who Fell From the Grace of the Sea a few months back that it was my current favorite, I will now revise that opinion to the best written of his books that I've read. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think this may be my favorite book by Mishima. It makes for an interesting parallel with his own life and several of the topics that seemed to dominate it. This is all the more fascinating as Mishima himself wrote it right after acting in a film titled "Afraid to Die" in which he played, you guessed it, a yakuza. There's not much of a plot, more like an examination of what it means to be a celebrity, how people view him/how he views others and how the film industry worked in Japan at the time. It follows a young actor who is filming a yakuza film. This is an absolutely fascinating shorter work from Mishima. If you never cycle out the masks, you run the risk of poisoning the well.
