It tells of Sir Gawain, a knight at Arthur's round table who accepts a challenge from a mysterious & magical being. This requires him to willingly offer up his life whilst first being tempted by the most beautiful lady in the land.

Her core argument is that the lack of financial means, privacy and strict social norms has resulted in the inability for females to write great books. And that it is not due inherent feminine weakness or lack of genius. She also emphasises that women need to write in their own voice and spends a fair bit of time criticising authors like Charlotte Brontë and Mary Carmichael who don't do this adequately (in her opinion).Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)Timeline:(0:00) - Intro(1:49) - Themes/Questions(16:23) - Author & Extras(20:22) - Summary(23:05) - Value 4 Value(24:58) - Join Live!Value 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/support (https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/support)Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast)Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/ (https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/)Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReU (https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReU)Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspod (https://twitter.com/meremortalspod)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/ (https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/)TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast (https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast)</div></a></div><div class="jsx-3676333407 episode-play"><img class="mb-sm cursor-pointer" src="/img/icons/play-circle-dark.svg" alt="play-circle"/><div class="jsx-3676333407 episode-duration">27 MIN</div></div></div><div class="jsx-3676333407 episode"><div class="jsx-3676333407 episode-artwork-container"><a class="jsx-3676333407 no-style" href="/podcast/mere-mortals-book-reviews-1553609495/episode/overthinking-love-death-sex-confessions-of-a-mask-yukio-mishima-book-review-84c596c723057e9c1c966fc83e1901f5"><img src="https://us-central1-podcastguru-217d6.cloudfunctions.net/gcf_get_image?image_url=https://assets.blubrry.com/coverart/episode/3214540/orig/131364734-1709773928.jpg&width=300&height=300&api_key=xqFmUFX5BHLBTA" alt="Overthinking Love, Death & Sex | Confessions Of A Mask (Yukio Mishima) BOOK REVIEW" class="artwork"/></a><div class="jsx-3676333407 date">MAR 6, 2024<!-- --></div></div><div class="jsx-3676333407 episode-info"><a class="jsx-3676333407 no-style" href="/podcast/mere-mortals-book-reviews-1553609495/episode/overthinking-love-death-sex-confessions-of-a-mask-yukio-mishima-book-review-84c596c723057e9c1c966fc83e1901f5"><div class="jsx-3676333407 episode-title">Overthinking Love, Death & Sex | Confessions Of A Mask (Yukio Mishima) BOOK REVIEW</div><div class="jsx-3676333407 summary">Can you think yourself to death?'Confessions Of A Mask' by Yukio Mishima follows a young rather frail boy called Kochan in the 1920-40's period in Tokyo set against the backdrop of WW2.

However coincidence throws the two back together and she has to decide whether to be a proper lady or do what would make her happy.Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)Timeline:(0:00) - Intro(3:00) - Themes/Questions(13:11) - Author & Extras(19:10) - Summary(22:28) - Value 4 Value(26:53) - Join Live!Value 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/support (https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/support)Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast)Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/ (https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/)Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReU (https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReU)Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspod (https://twitter.com/meremortalspod)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/ (https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/)TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast (https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast)</div></a></div><div class="jsx-3676333407 episode-play"><img class="mb-sm cursor-pointer" src="/img/icons/play-circle-dark.svg" alt="play-circle"/><div class="jsx-3676333407 episode-duration">28 MIN</div></div></div></div><div class="jsx-3162370740 text-align-center mt-lg mb-lg"><button class="jsx-3162370740 btn-text btn-text-barney">See all episodes</button></div></div></div></div><footer class="jsx-2402283764 footer-wrapper"><div class="jsx-2402283764 container pt-md pb-md"><div class="jsx-2402283764 footer-wrapper-inner"><div class="jsx-2402283764 footer-left"><img height="64px" src="/img/podcastguru-logo.svg" alt="Podcast Guru Logo"/><div class="jsx-2098791354 language-select"><select class="jsx-2098791354"><option value="en" class="jsx-2098791354" selected="">English<!-- --></option><option value="tr" class="jsx-2098791354">Türkçe<!-- --></option><option value="ru" class="jsx-2098791354">Pусский<!-- --></option></select><div class="jsx-2098791354 select-icon-container"><img src="/img/icons/down-light.svg" alt="down"/></div></div><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-guru/id1535235039" target="_blank" class="jsx-2402283764"><img src="/img/apple-appstore-badge.png" alt="Apple App Store Badge" class="jsx-2402283764 google-play-badge"/></a><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reallybadapps.podcastguru&referrer=utm_source%3Dapp.podcastguru.io%26utm_medium%3Dfooter" target="_blank" class="jsx-2402283764"><img src="/img/google-play-badge.png" alt="Google Play Badge" class="jsx-2402283764 google-play-badge"/></a></div><div class="jsx-2402283764 footer-right"><h3 class="jsx-2402283764 light mb-md">Company</h3><div class="jsx-2402283764 footer-link-container"><a rel="noreferrer" href="https://podcastguru.io/about-podcast-guru" target="_blank" class="jsx-2402283764 footer-link">About</a></div><div class="jsx-2402283764 footer-link-container"><a rel="noreferrer" href="https://podcastguru.io/contact-us" target="_blank" class="jsx-2402283764 footer-link">Contact Us</a></div><div class="jsx-2402283764 footer-link-container"><a rel="noreferrer" href="https://podcastguru.io/terms-and-conditions" target="_blank" class="jsx-2402283764 footer-link">Terms and Conditions</a></div></div></div></div></footer></div><script id="__NEXT_DATA__" type="application/json">{"props":{"pageProps":{"podcastUrl":"mere-mortals-book-reviews-1553609495","podcastData":{"artist":"Kyrin Down \u0026 Juan Granados","artworkUrl":"https://assets.blubrry.com/coverart/orig/3214540-714618.jpg","collectionName":"Mere Mortals Book Reviews","copyright":"Copyright 2024 Mere Mortals Book Reviews","description":"Hey I'm Kyrin and I review books of all genres/styles but with an emphasis on those that have stood the test of time (i.e., not recent releases).
