Letters of Thomas Mann, 1889-1955Mann, Thomas;Winston, Richard;Winston, Clara
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Here is a groundbreaking biography of one of the century's most important writers. Anthony Heilbut has plumbed the posthumously-published Mann diaries to give us a fresh and engaging examination of Thomas Mann's life and to reinvigorate the themes of his great body of work.
"Literary biography is an art with a distinguished pedigree. So it is reasonable to expect the style of such a book to be commensurate with its subject. That is unfortunately not the case here. While Mann is one of the greatest stylists in German, Hayman's English--to say nothing of his choppy translation of Mann's prose--is serviceable, at best. Occasionally, he seems to be stringing index cards together rather than writing. That's a pity, because the riveting story buried in this book is of great human interest."
