    Complex and deep, 4/5
  

*by Z***. on Reviewed in India on 21 July 2020*

Beautiful book, Japanese authors make such great books. I read this and I'd give it a 3.9/5 (just a point away because the writing style was hard to follow but that's just me plus the text has been translated from orginal Japanese characters) Kochan's sense of self and a part of him that seeks to be understood between his self and his ego, the story is poignant and melancholic.

*by D***L on Reviewed in India on 6 November 2017*

I recommend this book to anyone interested in books that push the limits of literature and societal norms. This book is definitely not an easy read. It is a disturbing novel that will agitate even seasoned readers. Mishima’s use of language is impressive. Each word is carefully selected to create a written style that is direct, profound.

    Unexpectedly good
  

*by L***1 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2009*

Like probably many readers, I first came to read Mishima's work through watching Paul Schrader's movie about him.  The Schrader movie is a complex and beautiful work of art in itself, but my attempts to read Mishima were mostly focused on his enormous tetralogy 'The Sea of Fertility', which I gather is not usually regarded as his greatest single work.  I put off reading 'Confessions of a Mask' because it sounded a bit pretentious, but much to my surprise it turns out to be very good; what some readers take to be Mishima's 'coldness' I regard as his lucidity, and despite his obvious involvement and sympathy with his hero, Mishima (unlike Salinger, another writer on a mission) manages not to give in to the temptation of trying to make the reader worship his main character. There is an unexpected level of dry irony and wit, which is probably one of the reasons why Mishima was so popular in the West in the first place.  Come to think of it, this level of irony is present in nearly everything Mishima ever did.  Even his suicide was self-consciously farcical; did he really think he could get a suburban Japanese army garrison in 1970 to revolt and seize power in the name of the emperor?I was surprised that I liked the book because I normally like to read modern fiction in the original, and having no Japanese I was wary of how much of Mishima's actual or supposed genius would come across in a target language very, very different from the original.  But 'Confessions of a Mask' is a damn good book in translation.
