Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima #joyce

Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima #joyce'There is in this world a kind of desire like stinging pain' A Japanese teenager is overcome with longing for his male classmate. He imagines his body punctured with arrows, like the body of St Sebastian in the painting that obsesses him.
