The Magician - Colm Tóibín

If you enjoyed "The Master" you'll love "The Magician" could have been a promotional phrase if we were talking about movies. We are not and just as that was a book about Henry James this is one about Thomas Mann. The common link between the two is the hidden sexual tendencies of both. Despite everything, Mann managed to raise six chidren. We learn here about his life and his work through quality prose.
