Confessions of a Mask - Mishima Yukio - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
In a world where desire feels like a piercing agony, a Japanese teenager grapples with deep feelings for a male classmate. Consumed by these emotions, he envisions himself pierced by arrows, drawing parallels to his fixation on the image of St Sebastian. Night after night, in his private reveries, the objects of his desire are subjected to torment and destruction. However, in the strict context of imperial Japan during wartime, such forbidden desires find no acceptance. The young man feels compelled to conceal his authentic self behind a façade, at any cost.Praised as a striking and incisive piece of art by The Times Literary Supplement, this narrative navigates the complexity of emotion with exceptional clarity. Christopher Isherwood highlights its humor amidst despair, while the Sunday Times notes the work's remarkable absence of self-pity in its confessional tone.
