On a ferry between Τἠνος and Πειραιάς, Hanno Buddenbrook plays the ultimate piano improvisation before being unceremoniously disposed of by typhoid fever. I have never oscillated between pure adoration of a literary master and thinking "you lazy fuck" that quickly. But even that lame move is executed masterfully. This concludes my tour of the Mann family. Funnily enough, Thomas was the last one I discovered.
