FAMOUS NOVELIST GAY
by Johannes Werres
(IGNA) Thomas Mann, the most famous German author of
the twentieth century, a Nobel Prize winner, is shown to
have been homosexual according to his "Day Books" (1918-
1921), published in Germany in 1979.
Mann's predilection was for youths, thus providing
some clarification of the autobiographical nature of
Death in Venice, one of his best-known books. However,
apparently the author never engaged in real homosexual
activities, remaining homoerotical instead.
The "Day Books" also indicate that Mann fell in love
with his son, Klaus Mann, who was also homosexual.

"The room was filled with her cold uneasiness as she
summoned her male friend to her side to protect her
from this pervert; the same guy she always complained
treated her so cruelly."
&b I really have a choice? Do any of us? It is the very
nature of love to last forever, unrequited or otherwise.
Because of this discovery, I am complete, yes, immortal.
Someday this typewriter will cease to function. In time,
the paper I have written on will crumble to dust. Only
a century or more will completely eradicate the present
generations that exist on this earth today. Like anything that is fragile and requires nourishment, reader
and author both will cease to exist. Only one thing is
withstanding through life's heartaches and persecutions.
And that is love. Had I TAKEN THE CHANCE with Julie
when she first made her daring advances which in my
youth I was not able to decode, I would have never known
the things that I know now.
