Bol Partner The stunning book from Christopher Ross, Sunday Times top 10 bestselling author of ‘Tunnel Visions’. The stunning book from Christopher Ross, Sunday Times top 10 bestselling author of ‘Tunnel Visions’. In 1970 Japan's most famous writer, Yukio Mishima, cut open his stomach and was then beheaded with his own antique sword. His anachronistic suicide has been called many things: a desperate heroic gesture; a work of art; a political protest; the antics of a madman. But which is correct? And what became of Mishima's sword? Thirty years later Christopher Ross sets out for Japan on the trail of those who might have answers: craftsmen and critics; soldiers and swordsmen; boyfriends and biographers; even the man who taught Mishima hara-kiri. Like his best-selling ‘Tunnel Visions: Journeys of an Underground Philosopher’, Christopher Ross has written another unclassifiable blend of travel writing, autobiography and philosophical enquiry to create a mesmeric account of modern Japan and the peculiar death that haunts it to this day.
