Golo Mann: Self

Golo Mann : In the writer's household, as that of my father, reality shifted somewhat. The artistic and the worldly, the so called worldly, would get mixed up in peculiar ways. For example; we the children have read the novel Buddenbrooks early in our lives and become familiar with it later thoroughly. There were no boundaries in our family for what is history and what is literature. I once visited the grave of my Grandfather in Lubeck. In the novel Senator Buddenbrooks had seemed to me as if standing at the grave of Thomas Buddenbrooks. I can't say to what extent these figures are similar.
