Yes, Mann's Doctor Faustus.

>> No.9452072

not real novels
diderot - "rameau's nephew":like a platonic dialogue with about 1/4 content about music-related topics. would rate 5/5 overall.
"kreisleriana": assorted articles e.t.a. hoffman wrote anonymously for a music magazine, like epistolary short satires from a fictional composer's perspective. (4/5)

actual novel
"the loser" by thomas bernhard about a pianist who is jelly of glenn gould, but the character of gould has nothing to do with the real person. (3/5)

That seems hilarious. It sounds like it was written by someone from /lit/.

I've been wanting to read it for a while. I've never read anything else by Mann, but I have read a lot of Broch, Döblin and Musil. IS he comparable to them?
