Why Writers Are Miserable, and Often Cowardly
I see this kind of thought in reference to Mishima a lot, and I can’t imagine what the author has done that requires more balls than disemboweling oneself to make a point.
I mean really, there are a very select number of men in the word who can throw around the word “coward” and remain immune to mockery. I am sure that I will never in my life be one of them.

An American fellow was inspired by Yukio Mishima to study Japanese swordsmanship. He just started a blog titled “American Mishima.”
I recently wrote a piece for The Spearhead, an online anti-feminist men’s magazine, incorporating Yukio Mishima’s story. In part, I did this to honor the 39th anniversary of Mishima’s hara-kiri last week.
