Confessions of a Mask

Mishima knits the complexities and tensions of the narrator together until, tying off knot after knot, you feel his prison yourself. From end to end the emotions he suffers are made beautifully clear.I do wonder if Mishima had read Dazai's [b:No Longer Human 194746 No Longer Human Osamu Dazai https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1422638843s/194746.jpg 188338], which came out the year before, as there are some strong similarities between the way each narrator describes his life.You know when you read or watch something that's so good you immediately throw yourself into the rest of what that creator has to offer? That's what I'm doing as soon as I hit “Save.”I have just one question...Why did i wait so long to read Mishima?
