    An excellent question.

    In personal writing I am Sternian (Shandyan, Tristramian). My work emails are Conradian. My public writing is Trollopian.

    All my writing is, of course, Roamerian.

    The writer most important to me is Thomas Mann, but I absolutely don't write like him. One does not mimic the Gods.

  3. CW: A film about Thomas Mann, by Paweł Pawlikowski

    A brief review by Peter Bradshaw of Paweł Pawlikowski's film Fatherland, showing at Cannes. I hardly ever go to the cinema any more, but I will make an exception for this film.

    Thomas Mann had left Germany in 1933. In exile, he famously remarked "Where I am, there is Germany" --- the proud and bitter battle cry of a patriotic emigrant robbed of his home country. He never returned to reside again in the country that defined him and that he defined.

    The film plays in 1949, when Mann makes an official visit to Germany, both the West and the East.

    The review suggests that the film captures the melancoly of this emigrant writer's visit home, his political disillusionment, combined with the complex and sad family dynamics of the Mann family. Thomas Mann is played by Hanns Zischler, a remarkable actor whom I remember from the early Wim Wenders films.

    On my list!

  8. THOMAS MANN - BEKENNTNISSE DES HOCHSTAPLERS FELIX KRULL
    Unter diesem Titel stelle ich mir etwas Spektakuläres, Abenteuerliches, auch Kriminelles vor. Die Geschichte entpuppt sich aber als weitaus harmloser. Die ersten zwei Drittel des Romans unterhalten mich. Mit der Zugreise nach Lissabon im letzten Drittel wird der Roman langatmig.

    Well spotted. The answer is Yes and No.

    It's not his real name. Since I myself use an alias here, my buddy quite rightly insisted on having one too.

    And yes, as his alias I chose the name of the hero in Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain, the book that shaped me more than any other.

    As a young man, I once spent a long night with a friend in a bar and at one point exclaimed, for all to hear, "Ich bin Hans Castorp", "I am Hans Castorp". That was some 40 years ago. The Magic Mountain is still the book that defines me, and Thomas Mann still the one author that lets me keep some hope for humankind. If he was possible, everything is possible.

    Castorp sits next to me and says hello. He loves attention.
