Description
Life for Sale by Yukio Mishima is a propulsive and madcap story about a salaryman who puts his life up for sale after a botched suicide attempt. As he navigates the classifieds section of a Tokyo newspaper, he finds himself entangled in a bizarre and continent-wide conspiracy involving a jealous husband, a drug-addled heiress, and a powerful organized-crime syndicate. The story is a darkly comedic and deeply surreal exploration of satire, as Mishima uses his signature style to examine the same themes that preoccupied him throughout his lifetime. With its wildly inventive and unpredictable plot, Life for Sale is a thought-provoking and unsettling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Through its exploration of the human condition, Mishima's work offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the darker aspects of human nature. This is a book that will challenge your expectations and leave you questioning the world around you.
