It was so hard to read this book. Not because of the language or the style; both were wonderfully rich. It was the sense of foreboding, increasing with each turn of a page, starting with his vision of the man across the street, that burdened me. I did not have the Library's version, so I was treated (?) to a fairly lengthy critical essay, which I did not read until after finishing the story. The essay helped me smooth out some of the rough spots I found in understanding Mann.
