The Frolic Of The Beasts by Yukio Mishima
In a small coastal town a tense, erotic power struggle unfolds between a jealous husband, his alluring wife, and the man she loves, and what begins as secret passion and humiliation escalates into ritualized cruelty and violent revenge; the story probes obsession, shame, and the destructive pull of desire as past wounds and rigid codes of honor drive the characters toward a tragic, inexorable conclusion.
