Synopsis
Confessions of a Mask is Japanese author Yukio Mishima's first novel. Published in 1948, it launched him to national fame though he was only in his early twenties. Confessions of a Mask is an account, usually considered at least semi-autobiographical, of a boy growing up in a Japan that is war-torn and militaristic. Entirely unsuited by nature to this environment, the narrator must weave an intricate and profoundly self-defeating facade around himself as he discovers his sexuality.
