A absolutely lovely book.
A fictional account of the life of Thomas Mann, this book explores creative genius, the impulses that haunt and drive us, and what it means to search for beauty in art. Simply my favorite book so far in 2021.

I don't feel this book should have a CW for adult/child relationship or pedophilia, but it is a book about Thomas Mann, and pederastic thoughts are discussed.
