Here through [livejournal.com profile] selenak, and I was wondering what language you read Jud Süss in - can all the language innovations be translated into English (or French?)

Oh, and Felix Krull is an absolute MARVEL, will love to read your review. Mann is so at ease with his writing, you can feel him having fun throughout. Krull made me irresistibly think of Lesage's Gil Blas de Santillane, my favourite pastiche of a picaresque novel. It's also very moving that the second part is set in Lisbon, the port through which the fleeing Mann left Europe to find refuge in America; what a brilliant way to exorcise those circumstances!
