maia313 's review for:

Death in Venice by Thomas Mann
3.5
challenging reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Beautiful prose, stunningly written. I imagine this would be really interesting to study, very interesting and haunting themes of youth/decay, beauty/ugliness, longing. At times slightly disturbing! Not much of a plot, more a look into Asenbach's mind. Without studying or analysing deeper into the text at times perhaps a bit hard to get through, but always captivatingly written.
