If you can burn away all the pain, should you take that path?

'The Temple Of The Golden Pavilion' by Yukio Mishima is a fictionalised account of real events concerning a temple in Kyoto in the 1940's. Mizoguchi a young acolyte become enamoured & then disillusioned by the Golden Temple. He experiences growing frustration due to his stutter & lack of connection to females, which leads to a climatic fiery end.

I summarised the book as follows. "A book you could analyse thoroughly, perhaps even too much! It's a glimpse into the mind of a wild author via a troubled boy. The beauty aspect feels slightly overdone but the narrative & internal self-talk is so identifiable. It was actually helpful for me in knowing what to avoid when I feel inner turmoil."

I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
