How does “Mario and the Magician” fit into Thomas Mann’s larger body of work? What was the political climate in Germany in 1929 when Mann wrote the novella? Hedwig Richter, Professor of Modern and Contemporary History, and Tobias Boes, literary scholar at the University of Notre Dame, will start the #MutuallyMann initiative with contributions about these questions on Monday, April 27. 🎉 . We are very much looking forward to a week of reading with you! 📔 Stay tuned on #MutuallyMann at www.mutuallymann.vatmh.org Photo: Mann in Berlin in 1929.
