«Confesiones de una máscara» is the novel by Yukio Mishima, published by Seix Barral in paperback (219 pages, in Spanish).
A sickly-looking, solitary young Japanese man reviews his childhood and adolescence in Japan in the 1930s and 1940s. The novel narrates his awakening to a homosexual identity, his difficulties fitting in, and fantasies that mix beauty, blood and death, as he strives to appear conventional. Considered one of Mishima's most autobiographical works.
Original title: Kamen no kokuhaku. Originally published in 1949. This 1985 edition belongs to the Literatura Contemporánea collection, no. 57, translated by A. Bosch.
For readers of Japanese classics and autobiographical fiction, and for those who want to discover Mishima's work.
Kimitake Hiraoka, known by his pen name Yukio Mishima, was a Japanese novelist, playwright, short story writer, actor, martial artist, model, and the leader of an attempted coup d'état that culminated in his seppuku. He is considered one of the most important postwar stylists of the Japanese language.
