Description
To conclude our reading of Robert Musil's "The Man Without Qualities," we talk with Musil scholar and translator Genese Grill. She helps us think through Musil's use of metaphor, the book's mysterious incompleteness, the nature of Musil's German prose and how he aimed to bring us to the edge of the unknowable. Please see Episode No. 22 for more on Musil: https://soundcloud.com/user-63759823/the-man-without-qualities-by-robert-musil-episode-no-22
