Confessions of a Mask

I almost dropped this book. Since I had already dropped another Yukio Mishima book before starting 'Confessions of a Mask', I wanted to stick with this one. I also knew that if I drop it, I won't pick it up again. It also took me way too long to read it.

The book became interesting to me about 50 pages in, but it kind of backfired because as soon as it did, my expectations shoot up way too high. I guess I was expecting a lot more drama.

However, despite all this, the book is great. I liked the setting and I liked the main character's journey. I liked getting to know him in such an intimate way. I actually can't think of a single thing I did not like or any way this could have been more entertaining to me.

Maybe it just wasn't the right time to read this book, or maybe it's that I can't relate to it. I really don't know, could be something else entirely.

At one point, though, the book really inspired me. There is a scene on a train that pushed me to do a pixel of a train scene. It didn't come out precisely as I imagined it, but either way, I'm quite proud of it and since this book inspired it, I'm linking it here.
