Let's Talk About Thomas Mann's Doktor Faustus

Thomas Mann's Doktor Faustus is a deeply complex, and at times confounding, novel about the Second World War, music, theology, intellectual traditions and so much more. Like many of Mann's novels, this work is a challenge for many readers, but for US Americans, I think you will find many timely, although upsetting, comments on society.
