Review
'A lyric masterpiece. Peter Owen is to be congratulated for bringing it back into print.' -- Glasgow Herald
'A terrific and astringent beauty . . . a work of art' -- Times Literary Supplement
'Never has a "confession" been freer from self-pity and emotional over-indulgence.' -- Sunday Times
About the Author
Yukio Mishima was born in Tokyo in 1925 and was educated at the Peer's School, where he received a special commendation from the Emperor of Japan. His international reputation as a leading Japanese writer was firmly established by the English publication in 1960 of Confessions of a Mask, considered to be one of the most important novels to have emerged from Japan since the war. In 1970 Mishima publicly committed 'seppuku', ritual suicide by disembowellment, in an ultimate gesture towards fulfilling his own fantasy of death.
