Description

The Thomas Mann literature—by him or about him, and translated into all civilized languages—is immense; no writer has ever written more or received more accolades. His six children called him “the magician,” and no doubt had their reasons. There is a magical “now-you-see-it, now-you-don't” in practically all of his writings, a magic that pertains to his eroticism: a homo-eroticism that explicitly rules out homosexuality by virtue of an internal dictum: “You may observe, but you may not touch.” That proviso, which goes back to his childhood, eventually enabled him to write over and over again about his dominant passion, a passion for handsome young men, for the ephebe “beautiful like man and woman, yet neither man nor woman, but something miraculous in between,” to write about it without causing offense.Even so, the otherwise excellent English biographies of Mann published so far have ignored or belittled this topic, though it is well covered in a number of German publications. Disorder and Early Love book not only tries to fill in such lacunae, but also deals with the manner in which Mann's eroticism related to his brother, Heinrich, to his wife, Katia, to his children, and to a large number of Western writers and philosophers who influenced Mann or about whom he wrote essays; and to the conservative culture of his youth that was assailed by a sexual revolt at the end of the 19th century.
