Couldn’t get ‘The Man Without Qualities’ on a Kindle so this as a substitute.
Typical German early 20th century expressionist (is this the right word?). Very self conscious and prolix interior monologue.
I don’t think this is a very good novel – about a hyper intelligent kid shoved off to a Prussian boy’s boarding school – a lot of very self conscious psychobabble, sex and homoerotic boarding school bullying. But none of the characters, Toeless included, remotely interested me.
