Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima
4.5

Despite being a little bit disjointed, this book is fantastically written with beautiful language. It is probably one of the most candid and vulnerable stories I have ever read. I think you can tell that Mishima was less experienced when he was writing this, as some parts drag, but the content is indisputably excellent. Mishima’s fixation on death reminds me a bit of Bataille, but his philosophies stray in a different direction. Overall, this was a great read that gave me a peek inside the author’s mind.
