F̶l̶a̶w̶e̶d̶ Beauty is in the ruins!

Yukio Mishima's The Temple of the Golden Pavilion unfolds in the enchanting city of Kyoto, capturing the story of a young Buddhist monk's obsession with the temple's beauty and his turbulent journey through jealousy, desire, and existential angst.

Penned in 1956, Mishima's masterpiece explores the destructive power of beauty and the conflicts between ephemeral desires and spiritual ideals. It's a profound narrative on how an individual's fixation on perfection can lead to catastrophic outcomes, touching on themes of identity, obsession, and the clash between tradition and personal turmoil.

Join Reuben, Zach, and Kehinde as they dive deep into Mishima's intricate storytelling, examining the protagonist's complex psyche and Mishima's genius in depicting the struggle between the sacred and the profane. Expect some personal revelations as the guys once again share a bit too much!
