i was thinking of yukio mishima, who pie called “controversial” but recommended his book (tbf that was quite a few years ago) but it’s great to know there’s more
I haven’t read mishima’s work personally but I know enough about him to say that ultranationalist is indeed an apt descriptor for him. He was a fascist. He wanted a fascist revival and attempted a coup to achieve it. He died by seppuku when it failed. There’s even a movie about it. He kinda had a cult following too.
