Mutsuo Takahashi

    Mutsuo Takahashi è una voce di spicco nella letteratura giapponese contemporanea, celebrato per la sua coraggiosa esplorazione dell'omoerotismo maschile. La sua scrittura è caratterizzata da uno stile audace e diretto, che approfondisce temi esistenziali profondi e il risveglio del desiderio. Nel corso di una prolifica carriera che comprende numerose raccolte di poesie e opere in prosa, ha collaborato frequentemente a riviste letterarie, esaminando le intersezioni tra omosessualità, influenze classiche e surrealismo. L'opera di Takahashi, che attinge sia alla cultura giapponese che a correnti internazionali, offre una prospettiva distintiva sulla sessualità e sull'esistenza umana.
