Forbidden Colors
Yukio Mishima
Experience the intoxicating blend of beauty, longing, and loathing in this exquisitely disturbing novel by one of Japan's greatest modern writers. An embittered novelist seeks revenge on the women who betrayed him and finds the perfect instrument in a young man whose beauty makes him irresistible to women but who is discovering his attraction to other men. As he enters the gay underworld of postwar Japan, he becomes as defenseless as the women he preys on in this provocative and erotic masterpiece.
