Each night he imagines his body punctured with arrows, like the body of St Sebastian in Guido Reni's painting; the objects of our hero's desire are tortured, killed and maimed, over and over again each night in his private fantasies. He must hide his lust from a homophobic and stiflingly conventional Japan. Self-loathing and desperate, he begins acting out a love affair with the sister of a school friend, while grappling with his hidden desires under the shadow of a Japan under threat from World War Two.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRHD Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45147031339231,"sku":"9780241301197","price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2185\/3151\/files\/9780241301197.jpg?v=1744083610","url":"https:\/\/lamplightbooks.pro\/products\/confessions-of-a-mask","provider":"Lamplight Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
