Beskrivning
First published in Shinchou literary magazine in 1916, "Beautiful Boy" was one of Tanizaki's first works to receive government censorship, though far from the last.
While K, the protagonist of "Beautiful Boy", does lead a life of mostly uncriticized decadence and dissipation, the work is very much a record of K's activities through the lens of a third-party narrator and devoid of the fleshy, sensual descriptions of debauchery that Tanizaki got away with uncensored in some other works.
