The Mann biographies published so far have largely sidestepped, belittled, or even distorted crucial aspects of his life and work. In particular, Mann's eroticism--a homoeroticism that distanced itself from fulfillment and posited romantic yearning as the driving force of all creative activity--formed the lifelong counterpoint to the reality of his status as a husband and father. Influenced by this eros, all of Mann's writings more or less openly expressed it. The topic influenced his thinking so much that, in a public speech following WW I, he suggested homoeroticism as an appropriate ideological basis for the new German democracy.
In this comprehensive exploration of Thomas Mann's writings--including his journals and his correspondence with family, friends, and writers who influenced him--Dr. Lederer demonstrates that repressed homosexuality permeates all of Mann's work, and that while never having actually allowed himself a homosexual liaison, he yearned for it all his life.
