The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea (Vintage Summer)
Vintage Summer
Yukio Mishima
'The most ungentle night of all came toward the end of summer vacation' A band of savage thirteen-year-old boys reject the adult world as illusory, hypocritical, and sentimental. When the mother of one of them begins an affair with a ship's officer, he and his friends idealise the man at first; but it is not long before they conclude that he is in fact soft and romantic. They regard this disillusionment as an act of betrayal on his part - their retribution is deliberate and horrifying.
