Overthinking Love, Death & Sex | Confessions Of A Mask (Yukio Mishima) BOOK REVIEW
Manage episode 405045466 series 2936123
Can you think yourself to death?
'Confessions Of A Mask' by Yukio Mishima follows a young rather frail boy called Kochan in the 1920-40's period in Tokyo set against the backdrop of WW2. We see his homosexual desires for another boy Omi emerge as well as a morbid fascination with blood, death and love. He tries to force himself to fall in love with a girl called Sonoko but struggles to combine this with his true feelings.
