I need help. Trying to remember an early 20th century or late 19th century German language author (may have been Austrian or something). It's not Ersnt Junger, it's not Musil, it's not Thomas Mann, not Hesse. I only remember his face. He has short hair, and I'm pretty sure a mustache. Dark hair. Fucking driving me nuts. I can't remember this guy's name and I remember he seemed interesting.
German Literature General, I guess
Heinrich von Kleist? Gunter Grass?
>Heinrich von Kleist
No, too early. I remember this guys face from a black and white photograph.
>Gunter Grass
Nope. He's got the stache but that's not him.
Zweig maybe?
Heinrich Böll?
Nope. I know Zweig. But to make a comparison, this guy had a stronger facial structure than Zweig.
Walser's Swiss not German
August Stramm?
Nope.
And Nope.
To be honest, I'm not even 100% sure this guy wrote novels. I would say 85%. Maybe he wrote plays, or something. But I'm pretty sure he has at least one novel. I remember his face pretty much perfectly, so I'll definitely recognize him when I see him.
Nope.
Trakl?
No.
shit
Hesse?
Also whats his best work?
Rainer Maria Rilke?
ETA Hoffman?
No, No, and No.
It's killing me now. Especially since I have a pretty much perfect memory of what his face looked like, but I can't remember what he wrote or why I thought he was interesting.
Perhaps Musil then?
Roth?
C. G. Jung?
nvm, didn't write fiction.
You're sure he wrote fiction?
Not 100%. He may have written aphorisms, or plays, or essays or something. But I'm pretty sure he has at least one or two novels.
So it's not Jung nor Rilke?
Is it Hofmannsthal?
Yep. Thanks user, that's it.
