Pretty good. Sword, Sea and Sunset, Raisin Bread and Martyrdom were the best stories. The book definitely shows Mishima’s range, with some stories being surrealistic, some being similar to his other work (martyrdom and the man who fell from grace) and some doing a good job of exploring relationships. I don’t know if I loved any of the stories but there is a lot of subtle nuance and layers to the stories that I would go back and re-read them in the future.
