Mishima: A Vision Of The Void

I was inspired to read Marguerite Yourcenar's book, Mishima: A Vision Of The Void (1980) because of eminent Japanese critic Donald Richie's praise of it. Make no mistake, Yourcenar has not attempted to write a definitive biography or critical study, however, has drafted a tribute to Japanese author Yukio Mishima as a symbol in life as well as expressed in his writings. She has made some interesting observations about his actions in life and how they reflected his ideas that have been preserved in his body of writing. I suppose this would be of most interest to people who are well-versed in the life and work of Mishima.
