Added DiffLines:

The second novel by YukioMishima that was published in 1949 and launched his career as a writer.

It is the story of Kochan who is raised during Japan’s era of right-wing militarism and Imperialism. From a very early age he struggles to fit into society, not helped by his homosexuality and less than ideal health.

The story is strongly autobiographical.

----
!!''Confessions of a Mask'' provides examples of:

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Kochans' [[UnusualEuphemism bad habit]] starts when he sees one of his fathers' art books.
* BeneathTheMask: Where the title comes from. One of the biggest themes is how Kochan tries to appear normal.
* ClosetKey: The famous painting of a bare-chested Saint Sebastian being pierced by arrows is this for Kochan.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Fantasies of sex, pain, and death are deeply interconnected in Kochan's mind.
* [[MyBelovedSmother My Beloved Grandsmother]]
