No one for Musil?

Speaking of German lit. Who's excited for this?

Meh. I found that book kind of boring, to be honest. Too many random,
pointless anecdotes detracting from the plot.

Here are some contemporary writers I have enjoyed

Thomas Meinnecke
Dietmar Dath
Rainald Goetz

Young Törleß was barely readable

>discounting art because you disagree with its creator's political views

top philistine

>not learning the lingua franca of philosophy
>not masochistically committing yourself to studying the original works of Kant and Hegel

What's your excuse Veeky Forums?

As an Austrian, I don't enjoy German literature. The Germans are very prude.

>no mention of mein kampf

Kafka's not german though

Austrian literature after WW II is literally "my great great uncle was a jewish resistance fighter against ebil natzis." And "muuh holocaust" memes.

>in the German language

Mein Kampf
