More Mishima
At the end of chapter 11 of Forbidden Colors, the main character, Yuichi, goes to a gay bar and offs “a boy completely devoid of charm. Play-acting at drunken roistering, he poured whisky down the boy’s back. The boy tried to make a joke of it, laughing agreeable in a forced way, peering servilely at his tormentor. This depressed Yuichi.”
It would depress me too. Unfortunately, I see this servile behaviour all too often among the gay Asian massage boys of Dongtan beach towards their farang tormentors.
