“There is no help for it: life has to be lived…” #GermanLitMonth #thomasmann #novnov25
This week, for German Literature Month, the focus is on the great writer Thomas Mann with a week set aside to celebrate his 150th birthday. Now to date, my only experience with his work is "The Magic Mountain", which I read back in 2015 (lordy, ten years ago!) I absolutely loved it, but have somehow never got to anything else by him.

“She had seen fear.” #NovNov23 #GermanLitMonth
Novellas in November is a reading event in which I always enjoy taking part; it's often a good excuse to pull something off Mount TBR which has been sitting there for a while, and today's book is a case in point. I picked up "Comedy in a Minor Key" by Hans Keilson (translated by Damion Searls) back in 2020 and of course have no idea now who or what prompted me to do this.

Not yet in the practice of linking my reviews here yet. One of my final reads for #germanlitmonth is the minimalist fragmentary novel The Sea in the Radio by Jürgen Becker, translated by Alexander Booth.
