About This Novel
"Let me live like a rocket taking off, let myself burn up, and let the night sky gain instant light." Mishima Yukio's thirteen short stories between the ages of seventeen and thirty-one are the masterpieces of Mishima's creative career. The elegance and passion behind his violent death. This book collects thirteen short stories written by Mishima Yukio between the ages of seventeen and thirty-one. When the opening chapter "Moon in the Water" was completed, Mishima was only seventeen years old. The full text consists of seven letters. The unfolding first-person narrative style makes the dialogue between the two parties closely connected and inseparable. The delicate and full psychological monologue is gripping. "Goat Head" reflects the subtle and dramatic changes in the protagonist's heart by describing whether a man can see the transformation of a goat's head when he interacts with different women before and after the war. The combination of realistic scenes and allegorical images brings the story to an abrupt end when it takes a major turn. Mishima's surprising expressiveness and distinct control of rhythm are impressive. In the title work "The Death of Radiguet", Radiguet, a talented writer whom Mishima had admired since his boyhood, passed away under the protection of Cocteau, ending his life at the age of twenty, as predicted: "Within three days, I will be shot by a magic weapon."

The writing is sharp, the sentiments are deep, and the style is unique, somewhat similar to that of Matsumoto Seicho and Mitsue Kentaro.
