Magistrale viaggio attraverso se stessi, nell'estremo e forse infruttuoso tentativo di dividere ciò che siamo da ciò che crediamo di essere. Il protagonista ci descrive se stesso e la sua maschera ma ad un certo punto si dimentica di avere addosso questa maschera, si dimentica che quella è la finzione e vive la vita auto ingannandosi. Ma prima o poi il risveglio amaro arriva per tutti.
Parabola di una presa di coscienza della diversità.

A compelling book about being different in a society driven to homogeneity, and the confusion that the process of discovery entails, Mishima soars in this novel. He reels us in with his inner monologue, which is confused, depressed, resigned, curious and over reaching and keeps us hooked with the somehow relatable, yet completely alien life of his protagonist.
A brilliant book by a brilliant author.

Izgleda da još uvijek nisam bio shvatio da je ono čega sam se sada gadio bilo moje pravo ja,dio mog stvarnog života; kao da sam vjerovao da sam sve prethodne godine proveo u snu i da ću se sada vratiti u "pravi život". Osjećao sam žurnu potrebu za životom. Da počnem živjeti pravi život? Čak iako je to bio običan bal pod maskama a ne moj pravi život, još uvijek je vrijeme da započnem, da teškim koracima pođem naprijed.

Otkrili smo da smo stanari u zgradi za odrasle u kojoj se svaka vrata koja se tek polovično mogu otvoriti moraju odmah popraviti. Naša veza predstavljala je upravo takva vrata koja se ne mogu širom otvoriti i koja se prije ili kasnije moraju popraviti.
