Star / Yukio Mishima ; translated by Sam Bett. by Mishima, Yukio, 1925-1970, author. New York : New Directions, 2019. Subjects Fame -- Fiction.   Actors -- Fiction.   Social perception -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780811228428 (alkaline paper) : 0811228428 (alkaline paper) : Description:  94 pages ; 19 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  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. 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?   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Mishima Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Mishima Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Mishima Checked In Add Copy to MyList
