I have always pretended to be a normal person, but "Confessions of a Mask" understood the madness inside me!
The starting point of Mishima literature! Japan's epoch-making and bizarre work.
My whole life I have been performing against my will.
Pain said to me: "You are not human, you cannot interact with humans. You are some inhuman, strange and pathetic creature."
When pretending becomes a habit, can you still distinguish between the mask and your true self?
Reader comments
"Only when you put on a mask can you have the courage to say something." The author's words always appear in my heart from time to time, and I feel a certain tear.
An injured person may not necessarily require a makeshift bandage to be clean.
People with low self-esteem and timidity will feel scared even if they are loved.
This book is very interesting and it opened my eyes to the complexity of human nature. The protagonist has been pretending, just like the book says, "You are not human. You cannot interact with people. You are some kind of inhuman, strange and sad creature." This contradiction makes people think deeply. Moreover, Mishima Yukio's description of the characters is very delicate, making people feel that the protagonist is right in front of them. I think this is a good book worth reading.
This psychological description is simply too real. As a sexual minority in that era, I felt powerless, but the ending was not clear.
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
The physical book I bought for collection arrived today. I'm so happy... I have always liked my grandfather's works...
