Published when Mishima was 24, in 1949. Cold, precise, uncomfortable, and one of the most honest portraits of a double life in postwar literature.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43427030597691,"sku":"9780811201186","price":19.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/6684\/7547\/files\/Screenshot2026-04-20at12.50.37PM.png?v=1776714646","url":"https:\/\/theritebooks.com\/products\/confessions-of-a-mask","provider":"The Rite Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
