Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) completed his first novel the year he entered the University of Tokyo and his last novel the day of his death. He is the author of numerous novels, stories, plays, and essays. Gore Vidal once said of him: “I only regret we never met, for friends found him a good companion, a fine drinking partner, and fun to cruise with.” Mishima committed suicide by ceremonial seppuku after a failed coup d’e´tat intended to restore pre-WWII power to the emperor of Japan.
Confessions of a Mask tells the story of Kochan, an adolescent boy tormented by his burgeoning attraction to men: he wants to be “normal.” Kochan is meek-bodied, and unable to participate in the more athletic activities of his classmates. He begins to notice his growing attraction to some of the boys in his class, particularly the pubescent body of his friend Omi. To hide his homosexuality, he courts a woman, Sonoko, but this exacerbates his feelings for men. As news of the War reaches Tokyo, Kochan considers the fate of Japan and his place within its deeply rooted propriety.
Confessions of a Mask reflects Mishima’s own coming of age in post-war Japan. Its publication in English―praised by Gore Vidal, James Baldwin, and Christopher Isherwood― propelled the young Yukio Mishima to international fame.

《假麵自白》這篇小說的文學價值在哪裏?何以說這本書奠定瞭三島由紀夫文壇的地位? 作為忠實三島粉,我試著來迴答這個問題。 《假麵的自白》始作於1948年11月(時年三島23歲)。1949年7月小說齣版,這是三島第一部長篇,其問世標誌著三島作傢生涯的開始。 關於這部小說的取...
評分朋友介紹這本書的時候對我說瞭一句話:“你看吧,這本書很陰鬱。” “好啊,我喜歡陰鬱。” 對同性的愛戀,對血的崇拜,對死亡的嚮往……以肉體為本嚮精神挑戰。 查到他後來剖腹自殺。我竟然沒有感到意外。寫齣這樣一本書的人,做齣什麼事情都是很正常的。我覺得。 推薦給心...
評分 評分如何理解三島由紀夫呢? 他不是傳統意義上的“作傢”,而是一個有著強烈的“媒介融閤”意識的“藝術傢”,文本、身體、行動、影像記錄與呈現、乃至最後慘烈的死亡,都是他得心應手的媒介,他一生的創造,是一部傾心謀劃的“大作品”,正是因此,他在辭世前堅持要求:一部“...
圖書標籤: 日本文學 日本 三島由紀夫 三島由紀夫 小說 英文原版 翻譯 未齣櫃的糾結
cloying sentiments. ew. 霓虹金邏輯依然彎彎繞繞,不過比唐月梅翻譯的好讀多瞭!
評分說實話不喜歡深櫃的主角,如此懦弱,如此自欺欺人,如此變態地迷戀血腥和殺戮,可是欣賞三島由紀夫對人物心理的細膩描寫,特彆是男主企圖拿戰爭當藉口放棄一切人生責任的心態
評分這當然不能算是一本Masterpiece,但是細膩。成名作就把自己的結局已經預告瞭。
評分被虐得不輕。不過寫得真是很不錯的。很多片段留下瞭很深的印象
評分糾結死我瞭!
