Synopsis "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion"

Because of the boyhood trauma of seeing his mother make love to another man in the presence of his dying father, Mizoguchi becomes a hopeless stutterer. Taunted by his schoolmates, he feels utterly alone until he becomes an acolyte at a famous temple in Kyoto. He quickly becomes obsessed with the beauty of the temple. Even when tempted by a friend into exploring the geisha district, he cannot escape its image. In the novel's soaring climax, he tries desperately to free himself from his fixation.

Yukio Mishima (nombre literario) nació como Kimitake Hiroaka en Tokio en 1925 y se suicidó en 1970 en protesta por el fin del Japón tradicional. Estuvo nominado para el premio Nobel, pero fue después de su muerte cuando alcanzó fama internacional. Mishima vivió, como tantos japoneses de su generación, el embate de dos modelos de cultura: la occidental y la propia y milenaria del Japón. Escritor plural y fecundo, Confesiones de una máscara, su primer éxito notable, le hizo famoso con tan sólo veinticuatro años.
