The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea | #ReadersInc Book Review All the Shelves 2016-03-25 | This is my review of the March selection for the Readers Inc. book club, in which I call Ken Burns "George Burns" (HA!). Also, just to be clear, I am not claiming that ALL Japanese values in the 1940s were lamentable, nor that ALL Japanese people shared the values of their government, nor that other countries didn't embrace similar value systems during wartime. I mean to more specifically point my criticism at Mishima and the set of values he seems to praise in this book.The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea: goodreads.com/book/show/162332.The_Sailor_Who_Fell_from_Grace_with_the_Sea?from_new_nav=true&ac=1&from_search=trueReaders Inc.
