5.0 out of 5 stars
As good as Musil but unknown!,

This review is from: The Demons (2 Volume Set) (Hardcover)
Heimito von Doderer is one of the greatest Austrian writers ever, and yet his books are all virtually unknown, or impossible to find. I waited YEARS to get a decent copy of Demons, and am a proud owner of several collector's items published not son long ago, but in what appears to be a very limited edition. This book is a journey through life itself, a book of historic value with true fiction and true facts. Yes, both are possible, for Doderer does not believe in a single form of reality, but at least two. Two or more opinions persevere today: one that focuses on his adherence to Nazism and the other who underscores his abandonment of Hitler before his triumph and the Anschluss. It does not and it should not matter to the reader, for this book does not directly deal with Hitler.
In any case, buy this book, take a month of reading other books and dig in! Or, as with Musil's Man w/o qualities, read a short paragraph here, a chapter there and savor the marvel of this world. |
