"As the author of the text and the subject of the photographs, Mishima almost tenderly exploits his most intimate obsessions: his erotic desires, his creativity, his body, his premeditated death. Hosoe's work mirrors Mishima's complexity and contradictions in photographs whose images melt into superimposed layers of symbol and meaning."--Booklist
". . . an opulently printed, large-format book . . . Hosoe explores light and shadow, and collages images from Renaissance paintings and other sources, resulting in photographs that possess a piercing beauty, photographs where there are no lies and no deceptions."--"25 Best Books of 2002," THE magazine, December 2002/January 2003
". . . Mr. Hosoe, a pioneer in a grittily expressionistic form of photography in Japan, rejected conventions and saw tantalizing stories before his camera, some dark, some exuberant. . . . A powerful blend of memory and desire. "--The New York Times
