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.
