	Metroactive Arts \| Robert Musil
		Musil, like Theodore Dreiser, uses his gigantic novel as a vehicle to express all manner of opinions and observations, philosophical, psychological and political, and to paint a portrait of the Hapsburg empire on the brink of destruction.
		Musil was touched but also amused by the social and economic scrambling and competitiveness he witnessed, and he often wrote in an ironic mode.
		Musil was a painstaking, even obsessive, writer who worked over his material again and again and experimented with taking the novel in different directions before making a final decision.

	Robert Musil
		Robert Musil was born in Klagenfurt, Austria, as the only son of Alfred Musil, a professor of engineering at the Technical University of Brünn and arms manufacturer, and Hermine Musil, a highly temperamental and sometimes hysterical woman.
		Noteworthy, the heroine of most of Musil's fiction is his wife, whom he once referred in his notebooks as "The Crow"; Martha's nickname was "Raven".
		Relativity played major role in Musil's thinking: a murderer could be either considered as such and tried by the courts, or seen as a national hero and celebrated.

	Waggish: Robert Musil and Walter Rathenau
		In a letter of 1934 to his friend the satirist Franz Blei, Musil, given his desperate personal situation and the Nazi takeover in Germany, compares his continued work on The Man without Qualities to "the diligence of a woodworm, boring through a picture frame in a house that is already ablaze".
		Arnheim was modeled on Walter Rathenau, the businessman and foreign minister who became one of the most prominent international negotiators in post-Versailles Germany, until he was assassinated by anti-Semitic right-wingers in 1922, removing one more obstacle in the way of the ideological and political ascent of Nazism.
		Musil wrote "On Stupidity" in 1937, a abstruse (for him) Benjamin-like exercise in postponement in which he never quite gets around to what he wants to say because it would get him in big trouble.

		Robert Musil was born in 1880 and died in 1942.
		Despite the powerfully bracing, if not occasionally repellent, astringency of his style, Musil's work subsequent to "Five Women" falls considerably short of the enormous and difficult ambitions which preoccupied his maturity; and, what's more, such a gaping failure of world-historical pretension tends to pollute enjoyments one might otherwise have had in reading it.

	Robert Musil - Introduction
		September 2003 a new biography of Robert Musil, written by Karl Corino, is published by Rowohlt publishers.
		Notes, letters, diaries were lost during his lifetime, childhood friends refused to talk about Musil out of bitterness, or a psycho-analytic refused to disclose information out of professional discretion, Martha Musil would not release information that could be essential to the biography.
		In contrast to former generations, the modern-day-man cannot afford himself, or be described in terms of 'qualities', as Musil calls it, for all the known certainties have been replaced by a greater diversity; there is no longer a single point one can focus on.

	Diaries: Robert Musil, 1899-1942 -- Robert Musil Philip Payne Mark Jay Mirsky
		Known for extreme personal reticence among his contemporaries, Musil in the diaries (which were never intended for publication), speaks nakedly of himself and the chaotic events he lived through.This selection from the diaries is based on the exhaustive 1976 German edition prepared by Adolf Frise.
		Thus, this remarkable new translation of Robert Musil's diaries (he never wanted them to be published at all) provide a more complex and intimate look into the imagination of one of the greatest twentieth-century novelists.
		Aside from the political concerns of the day, Musil's diaries speculate on many of the themes found in his novels: the limits of our perception and construction of reality, the possibility of mystical knowledge and the existence of an Unknown, issues of eroticism, and questions of sexual identity.

	Waggish: Robert Musil on Oswald Spengler
		Musil is attacking Spengler's Decline of the West, and specifically its treatment of the so-called social construction of reality, which keenly anticipates a good deal of the postmodern project that would start up three decades later.
		Musil also goes after Spengler's castles-in-the-sky methodology, which also afflicted so much continental philosophy.
		I don't know that Musil ever fully explained the alternative to which he alludes here, but as the gentleman of Shalott says, "Half is enough."

		As other commentators have said, Musil's diaries reveal this fascinating writer's process of thought, and are not filled with the usual "then he said something and we laughed and ordered another round" entries.
		Musil's eye is at once poetic and objective.
		Musil captures things as they appear to him with a minimum of fussiness.

		I had started to read Musil when I was about 14, without much understanding, but great fascination in what I could not understand.
		Another section had been prepared for printing, but Musil had changed his mind and withdrew it.
		About six years ago a new English translation became available along with the section that Musil had withdrawn, this has been published with some of the many possibilities of continuation that Musil had left at his death.

	LETRS' QuickGuides: Robert Musil
		Robert Musil's literary remains were arranged by Ernst Kaiser and Eithne Wilkins into eight Mappengruppen (directories), 63 Mappen (files) and about 8000 manuscript pages.
		Musil encodes dates in an efficient year-month-day format so that "30" will include dates from the beginning of 1930, "3006" will include dates from the beginning of June 1930 and 300701 will include dates from the first of July 1930.
		Also note that the Musil archive is quite large and it is easy to ask it to print hundreds of manuscript pages which may take up several letter-sized pages each.

	Amazon.com: Man without Qualities: Books: Robert Musil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		There is a snooty tendency to bracket Musil with Proust and Joyce, but this arises primarily from a shared half of the century, prolixity and apparent difficulty.
		Musil is more approachable than Thomas Mann (compare MWQ to Mann's 'Doctor Faustus') and his exploration of ideas is clearer in his fiction than in his essays, because many of the ideas are delineated through discussion.
		The vision of modern life that Musil explores inadvertently prompts the reader to consider the extent to which post-modernism represents a break with modernism, as the Anglo-Saxon world tends to believe, than a continuation and and development of the modern.
