What the critics say
"A story that is both happy and a work of art...Altogether a joyous and lovely thing. ( The New York Times)
"Of such classic design its action might take place at any point across a thousand years." ( San Francisco Chronicle)
"Mishima is like Stendhal in his precise psychological analyses, like Dostoevsky in his explorations of darkly destructive personalities." ( Christian Science Monitor)
