(★)(Translated by Alfred H. Marks／Titulo original : 愛の渇き [Ai no kawaki]／ After her husband dies a horrible death from typhoid, Etsuko moves in with her father-in-law and soon surrenders herself to his sexual advances. Her situation is compounded when she falls in love with Saburo, the household´s young servant. However, when Saburo rejects her advances, Etsuko makes one last crazed attempt to win him over. As we follow Etsuko down her lonely and doomed path, it is clear that we are in the hands of one of the world´s most skilled storytellers.／ ´Thirst for Love´ is a vivid portrait of sexual torment with intense jealousies and frustrations simmering just beneath the surface. Etsuko´s compulsion to love and her need to inflict pain on those she loves, is at the essence of all Mishima´s writing. In other words, although on the surface ´Thirst for Love´ is one of Mishima´s more restrained and quietly elegant works, it is, like so much of his later work, a celebration of raw eroticism, psychological suspense and sheer compassion.) |
