“After the Banquet” by Yukio Mishima is a novel that examines the intersection of personal desires, political ideals, and the complexities of human relationships. The story follows the life of Kazuo, a successful, middle-aged businessman who becomes entangled with the charming, yet morally ambiguous, widow, Mrs. Yuko. As the two grow closer, their relationship leads Kazuo into the world of high society politics, which ultimately challenges his own principles and identity. Mishima explores the tension between materialism and traditional values, as well as the sacrifices people make in the pursuit of personal gain or ideals. With sharp prose and psychological insight, After the Banquet captures the fragility of human relationships, and the consequences of living according to one’s desires rather than higher ideals.
