Klappentext
All eyes are on Rikio. And he likes it, mostly. His fans cheer, 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?Biografie (Yukio Mishima)
Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) wurde nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zum Sprecher der jungen Generation, deren Heimatlosigkeit er zum Thema seines Werkes machte. Mit den vier großen Romanen "Schnee im Frühling", "Unter dem Sturmgott", "Der Tempel der Morgendämmerung" und "Die Todesmale des Engels", zusammengefasst unter dem Obertitel "Das Meer der Fruchtbarkeit", schloß er sein literarisches Werk ab, bevor er sich 1970 das Leben nahm.Mehr von Yukio Mishima
