Christopher Isherwood comments-"One might say, 'Here is a Japanese Gide,'....But no, Mishima is himself-a very Japanese Mishima; lucid in the midst of emotional confusion, funny in the midst of despair, quite without pomposity, sentimentality or self-pity.

I think it is greatly superior, as art and as a human document to his deservedly praised novel, The Sound of Waves ."
