A review by samue_l
Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima

dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Third gayest thing I’ve ever read; favorite gay thing I’ve ever read. Mishima can write his ass off. I don’t think I’ve ever wished I could read something in its original language more, especially considering how he supposedly rejects the modernism of his time by using kanji so archaic that printers had to mutilate letters in order to print. So big props to translators as well. Just got two more of his novels.
