lotusmeristem555 's review for:
Confessions of a Mask
by Yukio Mishima
A very short book, melancholy and depressing.
Mishima digs into his core to bring out the tortured and self-torturing childhood, adolescence and early adulthood of a queer man in mid-20th century Japan. From a stifling home to a stifling school to a danger-ridden ending of WW2.
He tries to find normalcy and experience love with women but his real desires and their impossible nature stop him.
I hope queer kids and teens don't experience that in these days, not in first world countries, not that bad.
