Why haven’t you read Thomas Mann’s magnum opus yet /lit/?
You do consider yourself a literary man do you not?

I am a big Mann fan, but it's not in print in my language for some reason and the second hand copies are very difficult to get a hold of. The first and second volume are easy enough to find; it's the third and fourth that are basically impossible to get a hold of outside of a complete set and they are almost never on sale.

I have not really liked any of his novels I've read so far. If doctor faustus clicks I may check it out, otherwise I'm done with him

Dang that stinks, volume 3 is when it starts to get really good

What's even more grating is that Mann's had a renaissance in my country and most of his major novels + the bigger novellas were released in new, fantastic translations throughout the 00s. Not Joseph and His Brothers of course.
