Mishima Yukio

Summary

Yukio Mishima: Confessions of a Mask

This will be my first autobiographical novel," says Yukio Mishima in a note dated November 2, 1948. "I will turn to myself the scalpel of psychological analysis that I have sharpened on imaginary personalities. I will try to dissect myself alive. I hope to achieve scientific accuracy in order to become, in Beaudelaire's words, both a convict and an executioner. This requires determination, but I will close my nose and write." With brutal lyricism and without duplicity or pretense, Mishima consistently put this Determination into action, a capital for Japanese literature, exposing his mask of sexual perversion that turns into a death drive and an inability to love and be loved. Although Yukio is Mishima shocked critics who hated his openness and traditional Japanese society, the novel "Confessions of a Mask" created a new star on the firmament of world literature that has not dimmed since then. Yukio Mishima (1925-1970), one of the most prolific and significant Japanese writers, in his short and already legendary life, which ended with ritual suicide - seppuku - wrote more than twenty novels, over forty plays. about a hundred short stories, several collections of poetry and travelogues as well as several hundred various essays
