In a first-person confession, the narrator recalls his childhood and adolescence in Japan and the discovery of a homosexual attraction that forces him to hide behind a mask of normality. The novel explores the tension between identity, appearance and desire, with fantasies of beauty, blood and death.
The translation is by Andrés Bosch; the original, Kamen no kokuhaku, was published in 1949. This edition is number 35 of the Clásicos del Siglo XX collection.
