Confusions of Young Törless (riverrun editions)

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Robert Musil

Translated by: Eithne Wilkins, Ernst Kaiser

The Confusions of Young Torless is a taut, powerful depiction of teenage masculinity in this short novel set in an Austrian military academy. An unpopular boy is gradually bullied and humiliated by a coterie of better-off classmates until the almost unbearable conclusion. This was the work which made Musil's name and is his most popular work before his unfinished masterpiece, The Man Without Qualities. See more
