how come, you really think he's Heideggerian? that's an interesting take. i like the rifles a lot tho. one of the best failed-expeditions i read. also his first novel, you bright and risen angels i think is a good read, albeit a tad immature.

Ex. compare two authors living around the same period in Japan Kyusaku Yumeno and Mishima. For Mishima the Avantgarde literature is just a style that he can put in the service of his psyche and ideology. But for Yumeno, it is the expression of the impersonal forces of modernity.
-
Yumeno never received the popularity of Mishima even tho his books were far more avant-garde and exciting, because he never resorted to the cult of personality that Mishima was calculatedly cultivating around himself.

Couldn't agree more that sheddig psychologism is the main step towards literary maturity. But on this notion of personal-impersonal, idk. It itself is a political dichatomy at best. Otherwise what "personal" isn't extremly impersonal. I mean how much unique a person can be anyway
-
No it is not a political dichotomy, it is a neuro-philosophical injunction. The point is not to jettison the self or uniqueness of personality in a colloquial sense, but to disentangle it from the psycho-pathologies of the self and personhood which have political ramifications.
