How is everyone getting on? I was very relieved to finish this last night - I found it excruciatingly dull on the whole. I know now why it wasn't included on my uni-Thomas-Mann syllabus and for those whose first Mann this was, and who might be put off by it, I'd recommend Buddenbrooks, which is everything that this isn't. Or if you want something shorter, Death In Venice, which I'm going to read in February. I need a faith restorer.

Sybarite - could you provide details of the letters between Thomas and Heinrich that you were reading?
