"《假面的告白》是日本作家三岛由纪夫的成名作,同时也是其首部自传体小说,发表于1949年。小说首先叙述"我"的出生和家庭状况,而后将读者引入"我"五岁时光怪陆离的内心世界,进而描写"我"青春期大胆的心理。"我"对天生的孱弱感到羞愧,恋慕强健而富于野性的体魄,立志进行精神上的自我锻炼,但肉体的成长总令人不满。战时,"我"怀着尝试恋爱的心态接近异性,终于和同学之妹园子恋爱,却因为感到自己能力不足而导致关系结束。战后,园子与别人结婚,但"我"却试图仍与她偷偷约会,尝试完全舍弃肉欲的精神恋爱。 《假面的告白》通过倒错的内向型自白来对内心进行理智的探索,从一种社会心理的压抑出发,来对抗传统的道德、秩序和价值观的束缚。作品的特色在于内外交错、不拘泥于事实,完全凭主人公的意识轨迹构成。三岛由纪夫的"假面"与"告白"的矛盾同一性集合在文字中,青春、纤弱、敏感、充血、恶习等蕴含其中,字里行间充满了自我检视、体验、解剖、省思的勇敢,坦诚面对内心的"恶魔",以及敞开自我、面对自我、剖析自我的勇气和决心。
