raintaxi 's review for:

Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima
5.0

-loved all the parts about st. sebastian, the gory fantasy of the narrator
-i relate to povs of gay men about sexuality;; maybe it's the quantity, maybe it's the self loathing, maybe it's the painful introspection
-misogyny that's very typical of novels from this time period and style (kind of like giovanni's room)
-i feel like lots of interwoven freud/jung stuff? creepy but i enjoyed it
-sad and hopeless but somehow not depressing
-definitely one of the top books of my life so far,,, im gonna have to read this again bc i chugged it now i gotta chew it
