This week we're doing another dramatic reading by previewing our featured author for July, Yukio Mishima, with this shocking short story set in post-war Japan. Not only are there strong themes about fragile masculinity and the role of men as societal provider, but there are also rich under currents of anti-consumerism and a yearning for Imperial restoration. It's a short story that packs a punch and one you won't soon forget. Join us as we read the story in its entirety and join us afterward as we sit down at the Stardust Lounge and discuss its many layers over a cocktail or two.
