I regard Thomas Mann as one of the more esteemed German writers of his era. He has provided enough material to mark his place in German literature, and his works are almost always taught at university.
Despite all this, I had never read any of his works, and Adam's The Literary Others event provided a very good excuse to read one of his more famous novelas, Death in Venice.
