«El color prohibido» is the contemporary fiction novel by Yukio Mishima, published by Alianza in hardcover (560 pages, in Spanish).
A sexagenarian writer and a young homosexual man agree on a revenge against women: the old man will use the young man's beauty to inflict suffering, while the latter explores his own identity in postwar Tokyo. The work, considered the first modern Japanese novel to openly address homosexuality, blends aesthetic and philosophical reflections with a plot of desire and manipulation.
The novel is translated into Spanish by Jordi Fibla Feito and Keiko Takahashi, and belongs to the Alianza Literaria collection.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Japanese literature and in a classic work that addresses homosexual desire with a critical view of the society of its time.
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.
