Now Morishima is a character that I have some knowledge about and I might
even add my own two cents. He was an outstanding novelist despite his
reactionary politics. For my money, "Forbidden Colors" is one of the finest
novels dealing with homosexual themes in the 20th century. I would
recommend that comrades read this novel not only for its sensitive
treatment of the gay subculture in Tokyo, but also for its extended
discussion of Bohm-Bawerk in the pentultimate chapter.
