A review by workingfortheknife
The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann

4.0

powerhouse novelist from germany. back when i studied german we read "der tod in venedig" for a class, and his nobel prize is well earned. it is a novel that excels in feeling dated and fresh at the same time, haunted by its own inaffect by time and its passing. excellent. may be bumped up to 5 when i next read it again in english.
