Yukio Mishima is the world's most famous and widely read Japanese writer. He is famous as much for his works in every conceivable genre (novels, plays, short stories, essays) as for his extravagant style of life and death (hara-kiri after a failed attempt at a monarchical coup). In the novel Life for Sale, a young employee of an advertising firm, Hanyo Yamada, after a failed suicide attempt, places an ad in the newspaper: "I'm selling my life. You can use me at your discretion. Confidentiality guaranteed." And who does not apply to him! Among his clients is a jealous husband, a nymphomaniac heiress, an embassy intelligence service, unable to solve the riddle of poisoned carrots, and even a natural vampire. And so instead of quietly and peacefully ending his life, Hanyo Yamada finds himself at the center of a conspiracy on a global scale... "A brilliant example of Mishima's boundless imagination at the peak of form. Paradoxical ideas about the nature of being are presented with his trademark ironic chuckle" (The Japan Times).
