What we’re about
Appreciate a good pub? Like to chat? Bring an old book from your shelf to swap and give someone else the chance to enjoy it. Take a different book home. Maybe meet new people and enjoy some good conversation and beer all in an informal setting. When it's over, if you don't make new friends, at least you will have a new book to enjoy.

See all- Confessions of a Mask by Yukio MishimaTROWS, København
For our next book club, we are reading Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima.
Synopsis:
"Confessions of a Mask tells the story of Kochan, an adolescent boy tormented by his burgeoning attraction to men: he wants to be “normal.” Kochan is meek-bodied, and unable to participate in the more athletic activities of his classmates. He begins to notice his growing attraction to some of the boys in his class, particularly the pubescent body of his friend Omi. To hide his homosexuality, he courts a woman, Sonoko, but this exacerbates his feelings for men. As news of the War reaches Tokyo, Kochan considers the fate of Japan and his place within its deeply rooted propriety.Confessions of a Mask reflects Mishima’s own coming of age in post-war Japan. Its publication in English―praised by Gore Vidal, James Baldwin, and Christopher Isherwood―propelled the young Yukio Mishima to international fame."
