Booktopia Comments
This is a novel Thomas Mann began when a young man and finished when an old man. He said he didn't have the strength needed to keep up the tone of the novel when he was young. When you read this strange, delightful, exciting novel you'll know what he meant. Felix Krull, the hero/villain, is exuberant and fantastical and irrepressible. To think up such a character requires youth - to create such a being requires patience, persistence, knowledge, energy and incredible skill and competence, in short, a matured genius. This is the kind of book many great writers have within them but very few ever find the courage to produce. Thomas Mann did his best and gave us - The Confessions of Felix Krull, Confidence Man. Though the book ends too soon and we feel cheated and bereft - none, I think, will regret having met and loved (and hated) Felix Krull. Highly Recommended. John, The Booktopia Book Guru
