The Thomas Mann Group discussion

I will be posting citations for journal articles about The Magic Mountain here. Group members can send me a PM with their email address if they want to find out how to get copies.

Also, if there's a particular theme or topic related to The Magic Mountain that you'd like me to hunt for, please post requests here as well.

Slight change in plans -- I have a collection of 37 articles on TMM. Rather than listing all of them, I'm happy to send copies to any members interested in them -- just PM me your email address if I don't already have it. We can use this thread to discuss any articles of interest -- just be aware that there are spoilers in them, so it's a good idea to use the spoilers html to hide those. I already have articles queued and ready to send, so this might be easier than sending individual articles.

I'll let you know as I find more to add to the collection.

Here is a wonderful article that deals with Mann's dark humor in TMM:

Comedy in the Magic Mountain,Jeffrey Meyers, The New Criterion, October, 2011

Thanks, Mike, I was pleasantly surprised to find this novel so humorous -- there's a lot of snickering going on over here!

Is there anyway for us to read the article in its entirety? Maybe I'll look into a subscription.

Perfect, thank you! I'll read through it a bit later.
