Mishima's stuttering acolyte becomes obsessed with perfect beauty—the Golden Temple that haunts his dreams and waking hours both. The paperback holds this study in obsession, how the desire to possess perfection can destroy both the seeker and the sought. For readers drawn to literature's examination of aesthetic desire, the dangerous hunger for what can never be truly owned.
