SYNOPSIS
A haunting novella of fame and disillusionment by a Japanese literary icon
All eyes are upon Rikio. And he likes it, mostly. His fans cheer from a roped-off section, screaming and yelling to attract his attention.
They would kill for a moment alone with him. Finally the director sets up the shot, the camera begins to roll, someone yells "action"; Rikio, for a moment, transforms into another being, a hardened young yakuza, but as soon as the shot is finished, he slumps back into his own anxieties and obsessions. 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 as the absurdity of his existence comes sharply into focus.
With exquisite, vivid prose, Star begs the question: is there ever any escape from how we are seen by others?

REVIEWS
"Star" de Yukio Mishima
Sofia A.
"Star" trata de uma pequena história sobre um actor - uma estrela - no auge da sua carreira, que se depara com verdadeira dimensão da sua vida. Este livro foi uma verdadeira surpresa, subtilmente cheio de camadas. Uma obra que ficou comigo. Foi o meu primeiro contacto com o trabalho de Mishima, mas certamente não será o último!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Yukio Mishima
Yukio Mishima, novelista e dramaturgo, pseudónimo de Kimitake Hiraoka, nasceu em Tóquio em 1925 e suicidou-se de forma mediática, praticando o ritual japonês seppuku, a 25 de novembro de 1970, manifestando assim a sua discordância perante o abandono das tradições japonesas e a aceitação acrítica de modelos consumistas ocidentais. O idealismo que enforma a sua obra e conduzirá a sua vida está enraizado no tradicionalismo militar e espiritual dos samurais, e a sua conceção da arte liga-se a um elevado culto da alma e do corpo. Mishima é um dos mais conhecidos escritores japoneses, várias vezes apontado como candidato ao Prémio Nobel da Literatura, e autor de obras inesquecíveis como Confissões de Uma Máscara (1949), O Templo Dourado (1956) ou O Marinheiro Que Perdeu as Graças do Mar (1963).
