Is this worth a read or is it another "nazis bad" sort of novel?

>"nazis bad" sort of novel?
How is this even a nazi novel? Was Musil an anti-nazi writer too, or Kafka? The nazis clearly had bad reading comprehension (Nietzsche), so why do you take the banning of this at any merit.

I didn't know that this was banned, though considering Broch's ethnicity, I'm not surprised. I only meant that the outline of the plot implies that it is a heavy-handed allegory for nazi germany.

Not really. It's just the dense sense-impressions and pontifications of Virgil in his final hours

I'm not against that message, it's only that "nazis bad" as a theme is such a low-hanging fruit in post-WW2 /lit/ that if it was going to be about that then I'd rather have read something else.

I read a couple excerpts, it seems quite masturbatory with some nice prose here and there.

It was written in 1945, retard. The last year of Nazi Germany. It's obviously more than Nazi's bad since it's about Virgil and employs unique stream of consciousness techniques. Also who reads for a reductive political message or a general platitude? Everyone on here has called you retarded, so fuck you and stop posting.
