Ep 536 - Confessions of a Mask, by Yukio Mishima

Tell me about a Complicated Man. Mishima's breakthrough coming-of-age novel about sexuality in late Imperial Japan has a powerful narrative voice and prose style. But the legacy of his work and his political goals has led to him being a bit of an "enigma" (as one listener referred to him) -- to put it lightly. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
