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.
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.
读过这套丛书中的《潮骚》《春之雪》和《假面自白》,除了《潮骚》没有什么大到碍眼的问题,另两个简直令人发指。《假面自白》中很多句子像是电子软件翻译的似的不说,还经常冒出来不知道是哪国语的单词,别告诉我三岛由纪夫就这风格,欺负我没看过别的版本的翻译怎么着??《...
评分三島由紀夫和川端康成是两个世界的人,反应在小说上是三岛的偏执。摩羯座的三岛很典型,他会花时间给你解释他看到的东西和他的感受和结论,而放到川端那里就变成只有看到的东西了。换句话说三岛君犯了一个喜欢代替人思考的古板死硬毛病,这也是摩羯座的毛病。我有很多摩羯座的...
评分“我一生不安的总帐,犹如一纸菜单,在我还没能读懂的时候,就赋予我了。” 我略微分神地在国际法课上摊平《假面自白》,算作对也在东京帝国大学修法科的三岛由纪夫的致敬。把往事捋平褶皱叙述,总能较为从容地带游客一一历览,特别是每个闷不作声的少年内心,总有一段光怪陆...
评分对三岛并无特别的情怀,却对其儿时那种偷偷摸摸、见不得人的阴暗心理深有感触。这种事情用语言写出来恐怕并非能让每个人都体会到,而体会到的必定会感慨,啊,原来我不是一个人。 读至中后程的时候,我心说,园子铁定是炮灰了吧。对男性有偏爱的三岛自然不会施与一个女孩、女...
评分在三岛先生的自白里,他是一个不道德的存在,但他给我极致的美的撞击。道德的意义早已从太初有道,行道有得于身,谓之德。如今的道德,被儒家托为顺应人伦的社会道德,而非顺应天道的德,与美渐行渐远。最初,它们是多么的合二为一。因为顺应自然的,不就应该是美的吗? 这种假...
"Know Thyself" is one of the hardest things to accomplish for human beings, the Greeks always have it right.
评分他的书总是有那么一股子劲儿,有时候优美得令人伤感。
评分感觉像没写完?好像和太宰治的文风很像。。。
