The sailor who fell from grace with the sea

by Yukio Mishima, John Nathan

A group of adolescent boys rejects adult values in favour of a philosophy of brutal objectivity. When a sailor fails to meet their idealised expectations, they perceive his sentimentality as a betrayal, leading to a violent and calculated response.
