The publisher on this edition
Written when Mishima was only twentysix, Forbidden Colors is a depiction of a male homosexual relationship, in which a rich older man buys the love of a young man who is stunningly handsome but who lacks the ability to love. As in Mann's Death in Venice , the older man's longing for the beauty of youth is associated with aestheticism and death.
