It’s absolutely stunning! To be honest - it isn’t perfect at all but it is an autobiography and biographies in general should be not perfect but a picture of the person behind. And it is a fantastic picture of adorable Klaus Mann, also of the time he lived in, an eventful, interesting and important time - 1910-1940’s. The things he had to say - partly political - are still relevant and highly interesting nowadays. They may not be always right but this is not the matter at this point.
And in general, his vocabulary is so full of words I know but I never use (which of course is natural for a book written in 1940’s) and he writes so eloquent, wich made me enjoy reading the book even more. Also, he talks with so much love and enthusiasm about art, mostly literature. It really made me think of the way I think about what I read and he made me feel like I have to read all this books he talks about and much more.
So, Klaus Mann was an interesting personality, having an interesting family and also interesting friends, living in an interesting time and finally, having so much interesting to tell.
