Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea
Yukio Mishima
A group of brutal thirteen-year-old boys reject the world of adults, calling it hypocritical and sentimental. When one boy's mother begins an affair with a ship's officer, they at first idealize him, but soon deem him soft and romantic. Their retaliation is deliberate and horrifying.
