It’s more about the mother turning the sailor (representing japans masculinity) weak through temptation (capitalism, international finance post wwii subjugation to us interests). So really the mothers sex is only relevant to show how interests can fall to what seems tempting even if it isn’t for your stated views. Note that I am indifferent to Mishima and despite disagreeing with his politics I find him a fine writer of romance. Spring Snow was my first real foray into romance lit.
As far as I am aware, no. He was a romance writer which is why I am sure most here would call him girly gay shit if he weren’t a muscular ripped neofascist. Spring snow is written in a very feminine style.

I was about to buy it cause the cover looked really nice but this stopped me from buying it
It’s just a really crude/ stupid metaphor and not anything Freudian like what the op is hinting at which is why I said otherwise. I never liked the book (sailor) much.
The book is basically the Shinto authors, anti-Buddhist & anti-America edgelord bullshit.
He's only given any attention cause he killed himself in a failed coup.
Yukio himself was too weak to serve in WW2, which made him pathologically bitter for the rest of his life (reminds me of Goebbels, but less smart, and less successful, and less well known)
>oh noes my mother is fricking a man and he’s not a strict enough father figure! >better watch them have sex and murder him later
Glad I never bothered with this gay after this
You never understand a book until you empathize with its characters. You wouldn't get this book until you've felt truly ugly, so much so that everything beautiful seems like it exists only to antagonize you and other ugly things.
>This was based on some guy
true but he didnt have access to information about everything the guy did. the description of their trip to the brothel is quite similar to the one in confessions of a mask.
The trip to the brothel was inspired by a real event in the guys life. Mishima had plenty of information about his life, even obtaining an interview with him.
Isnt the sailor who fell from grace about this too? I never got into him really, his writing style bores me.

kind of lol yea

Is any of his work doesn't have to do with romance and infidelity? Only one I could find was Star

I just don't like gay shit, simple as

Oh, actually Patriotism isn’t about romance, I guess.

if that is the why, that is the why

This was based on some guy
It wasn’t autobiographical
