Runaway Horses
The second volume of the tetralogy moves from the languid world of Spring Snow to the fanatical Japan of the early 1930s. Isao Iinuma, a young right-wing student, translates aesthetic purity into terrorism, while Shigekuni Honda, now a lawyer, watches the reincarnation cycle repeat through politics rather than romance. Mishima admires and condemns his character in equal measure, which makes the book both thrilling and disquieting.The Pocket edition presents the novel in the same compact format as the rest of the series. Leaner than Spring Snow, less interested in gardens and kimonos, more interested in the cold of dojos in winter. For readers who find beauty and politics equally dangerous.
