An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro has been a pretty satisfying, and subtle, counterpoint to Mishima's lost-cause nationalism. Especially with Mishima's sainthood of late among the alt-right community.

Just a sad, in denial, unreliable narrator, feeling totally emasculated by his daughters and the changing society. I highly recommend it if you are enjoying Mishima.

edit: lol i didn't read the past 10 pages. I hope I dont become a japanese nationalist by reading an unreliable japanese nationalist narrator!!!

I wanted to go back to this briefly because An Artist of the Floating World is one of my favourite books and deserves a lot of love. Strongly recommend.

As mentioned above it�s originally written in English: Kazuo Ishiguro (technically Sir Kazuo Ishiguro OBE and some other letters) is a UK writer who happens to be ethnically Japanese.
