Synopsis "Confessions of a Mask (Penguin Modern Classics) (in English)"

'There is in this world a kind of desire like stinging pain'A Japanese teenager is overcome with longing for his male classmate. He imagines his body punctured with arrows, like the body of St Sebastian in the painting that obsesses him. Over and over again, each night in his private fantasies, the objects of his lust are tortured, killed and maimed. But, in the rigid world of imperial wartime Japan there is no place for such transgressive desires. He must wear a false mask and hide his true nature, whatever the cost. 'A terrific and astringent work of beauty' The Times Literary Supplement'Mishima is lucid in the midst of emotional confusion, funny in the midst of despair' Christopher Isherwood'Never has a "confession" been freer from self-pity' Sunday Times

Yukio Mishima (nombre literario) nació como Kimitake Hiroaka en Tokio en 1925 y se suicidó en 1970 en protesta por el fin del Japón tradicional. Estuvo nominado para el premio Nobel, pero fue después de su muerte cuando alcanzó fama internacional. Mishima vivió, como tantos japoneses de su generación, el embate de dos modelos de cultura: la occidental y la propia y milenaria del Japón. Escritor plural y fecundo, Confesiones de una máscara, su primer éxito notable, le hizo famoso con tan sólo veinticuatro años.
