Thirst for Love by Yukio Mishima
4.0
I struggled to read this - a book of idioms!
Be warned, this book is not about love. It's about obsession, jealousy and depression, with a smattering of psychopathic behaviour thrown in.
The depression is portrayed with such accuracy that one can only assume Mishima felt it. The endless mind-reading, overthinking and self-absorbed nature of obsession is also in sharp focus.
