Kind of curious, you can post songs or artists or topsters or whatever.
Confessions of a Mask, for example, is mostly about Mishima's struggle against his larp of heterosexuality.I don't see that at all. The book's title is Confessions of a Mask, not Confessions of the Man Behind the Mask. The MC is, by his own admission, an unreliable narrator. He's obsessed with death and glorifies suicide attackers, but when he has the opportunity to serve in the army he avoids it by feigning tuberculosis. He mentions being attracted to his female cousin and then there's Sonoko, but tells the reader (in first person) that he's not attracted to women like some kid embarrassingly insisting he's not into someone. His relationship with Sonoko reveal this to be a lie. He's unwilling to commit because marrying her doesn't line up with his self-image (mask). The only same-sex stuff that happens in the book is him jacking off. Mishima's point is that Kochan is just a mask, he's not using a mask to hide himself, because he's so insufferably deep into his own larp that there's nothing authentic behind the mask. He's insincere, self-destructive, and childlike.
That's why even the most crooked litigants overstand.KEK. I'm guessing this guy is in the Brotherhood of Islam.
