Its patients suffer a myopia whose reach does not extend further than the sickness at hand. It’s a place where the shortest unit of time is the month and where sickness is nearly a fetish. The Sanatorium Berghof, an alpine retreat for the terminally ill, is a place of prescribed rest cure, three-a-day constitutionals and idle entertainments. By the time he completed it in 1924, the sickness of the body had become further distorted into the sickness of the body politic, and his novel became a reification of the period’s irrationalism. Though Thomas Mann began work on The Magic Mountain in 1912 when he visited his ailing wife at a sanatorium (which served as the model for the Berghof of his novel), his writing soon bent to a different angle when war broke out two years later. There are even fewer that play with it as a state of mind or treat it as the defunct policy of nation states. There are few novels that give sickness its due.

To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt: My gaze fixed on the woods, glued to the last place I’d seen Daemon. Everything was silent and still, soundless in a totally creeptastic kind of way. There wasn’t even the low hum of insects. Not one sign of any woodland creatures scurrying anywhere. No birds were chirping or fluttering from leafy branch to branch. There was no flickering, brilliant white light shining through the trees. I peered out, beyond the porch and the cleared yard, into the thick woods surrounding the cabin Luc had stashed in the forests of Coeur d’Alene, a city in Idaho I couldn’t even begin to pronounce or spell.

I had not only planned to explore more of Australia I too had aspired to read more books, more authors and more classics than ever before. Like many people, I had high hopes for 2020. Perhaps sensing this, Hannah just baked for her all the more. And her cousins never seemed to take to her either. To make up for her lack of mother and siblings, Honey would boast about her monied cousins and relatives. And Hannah would cook her cookies, pies, cakes, a vast array of dishes every single day. She didn't have the mother and the father – her father was, after all, always working. Honey realised, as she got older, she didn't have the same sort of family as her local friends. This Hannah would spoil her the only way she knew. Doted on by Hannah the nursemaid/cook/housekeeper. I felt sorry for this young girl, motherless and ignored by her father, avoided by her peers.
