Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Begun while the author was imprisoned in a German concentration camp, this extraordinary and profound novel is widely regarded as one of the great works of 20th-century modernism. A work that is part historical novel and part prose poem, it recreates the last 18 hours on the life of Virgil, author of the Aeneid, and the squalor and splendor of imperial Rome.
Review:
"The Death of Virgil (1945) constitutes a marked advance, or prolongation, in the direction indicated by the philosophizing parts of ...earlier work, though with this difference: that the reflections of the dying Virgil, while equally abstract, are largely unargued, they proceed less by logic than by what alas is called 'poetry'....In form The Death of Virgil consists of almost continuous interior monologue, in sentences so long that their beginnings are forgotten before their ends are known....Broch's prose poetry is rather similar to Rilke's poetry deprived of most of what makes it poetry....The main subject for speculation here, the meatiest bone in a voluminous soup of words, is art, beauty, or poetry--and those grave doubts about the prpriety of art which loom large in German writing, from Goethe and before to Thomas Mann and after."
Ronald Steel, New York Review of Books, 1/6/66
