Description Being a star, constantly performing, being watched and scrutinized as if under a microscope, is often a drag.
But so is life.
Written shortly after Yukio Mishima himself had acted in the film Afraid to Die, this novella is a rich and unflinching psychological portrait of a celebrity coming apart at the seams.
With exquisite, vivid prose, Star begs the question: is there any escape from how we are seen by others?.
