Abstract

This work links together speech areas of a fictional character with aspects of the life of the writer Yukio Mishima, who wrote, among others, the novels Confesiones de una máscara (Confessions of a Mask) –biographical novel– and El color prohibido. Accompanied by texts of uruguayan poets who report homosexual assumption from an artistic and political positioning, the work raises some of the difficulties presented by the current revisions in relation to male homosexuality.
