«Confessioni di una maschera» is the fiction novel by Yukio Mishima, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (224 pages, in Italian).
A young man with no carnal desire for the opposite sex must hide his true identity. He confesses the experiences that marked him: adoration for a pair of trousers, sadomasochistic fantasies, identification with famous women. Accepting himself as a different man demands a struggle to appear normal, feigning vices and courting girls.
The novel was originally published in 1949; this Italian edition of 2013 belongs to the Universale Economica collection.
A work of modern Japanese literature, of interest to readers of twentieth-century classics and narratives about identity and desire.
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.
