Because of the boyhood trauma of seeing his mother make love to another man in the presence of his dying father, Mizoguchi becomes a hopeless stutterer. Taunted by his schoolmates, he feels utterly alone until he becomes an acolyte at a famous temple in Kyoto. He quickly becomes obsessed with the beauty of the temple. Even when tempted by a friend into exploring the geisha district, he cannot escape its image. In the novel's soaring climax, he tries desperately to free himself from his fixation.

°°°

A haunting portrait of a young man’s obsession with idealized beauty & his destructive quest to possess it fully—& the book that “established Mishima’s claim as one of the outstanding writers of the world” (The New York Times).

Mizoguchi, an ostracized stutterer, develops a childhood fascination with Kyoto’s famous Golden Temple. While an acolyte at the temple, he fixates on the structure’s aesthetic perfection & it becomes his one & only object of desire. But as Mizoguchi begins to perceive flaws in the temple, he determines that the only true path to beauty lies in an act of horrific violence. Based on a real incident that occurred in 1950, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion brilliantly portrays the passions & agonies of a young man in postwar Japan, bringing to the subject the erotic imagination & instinct for the dramatic moment that marked Mishima as one of the towering makers of modern fiction.

With an introduction by Donald Keene; Translated from the Japanese by Ivan Morris.
