About This Novel
The psychedelic forest of flowers where love and death breathe freely is a collection of Yukio Mishima's self-selected short stories, a summary of the author's writing growth history. This book collects a number of short stories that Mishima Yukio established and fixed with various techniques and perfect questions in the early days of his creation. The literary themes and realistic problems related to the author's life are all contained in them. The title work "Forest in Bloom" is Mishima Yukio's debut novel when he was sixteen, written in 1941. In the diary of "my" ancestor, Mrs. Ximing, there is a record of a "miracle" that is almost hallucination. A Heian Dynasty woman who has a close relationship with "my" ancestor is very afraid of the sea, while "my" grandmother's aunt had a passionate yearning for the sea when she was young. These "miracles", "fear" and "yearning" are all manifestations of the "longing" living in the body and its transformation, and are intertwined with blood, writing the fate of life and death in "my" own life, dreams and illusions.
