GAY PROJECT

The fact that Kls is son of Thomas has enormo signifince, om my pot of view, bee both the father and the son found themselv havg to al wh their homosexualy and ont of they gave very different answers.

In the work of Thomas Mann the atmospher are very particular and, general, the gay rear feels immersed a world that don’t seem strange to him at all. This nflict “Death Venice” reveals self, out of metaphor, as the nflict between heterosexualy and homosexualy. Both the character of Hans Hansen of “Ton Kröger” (1903) and the character of the pater the novel “The hungry men” (1903) and that of Rudolf ‘Rudi’ Schwerdtfeger, also a vlist and an object of homosexual tert the “Doctor Fst” clearly refer to Pl Ehrenberg.

At the time of their relatnship, Mann’s attu was radilly different and was domated by a kd of self-nial as a homosexual and by the nmnatn of “abnormaly”. In practice Mann nmned himself to marriage to try to remove om himself the homosexual passn he had lived eply wh Ehrenberg. Some, given the existenc of marriage, have tried to talk about a bisexualy of Thomas Mann but the realy would rather make thk of an pe om homosexualy to a bourgeois paradise much more reassurg.

HUNG STAR THOMAS JANE REVEALS HE WAS A GAY PROSTUTE

Thomas Mann had six children om Katia, the first two were admtedly homosexual, the elst Erika, born Munich on November 9th 1905, married on July 25th 1926, not yet twenty-one years old, wh Gtaf Gründgens, but 1929 divorced. Erika, a clared lbian, had her first relatnship 1932 wh Pamela Wekd, whom she met Berl and who was engaged to her brother Kls, who was also a homosexual. The attus of Kls and his father towards homosexualy were radilly anthetil and this didn’t enurage dialogue between them.

I don’t elaborate the disurse on Kls Mann’s homosexualy here, bee I will take analytilly aga after ncludg that on his father. Even after the marriage Mann didn’t abandon the homosexual topic and 1912 he published “Death Venice” which was the basis of the homonymo film by Lucho Visnti of 1971 and of the homonymo 1973 melodrama by Benjam Brten. Needls to say, both Visnti and Brten were homosexuals.

The novel has s unniable tragic power, but the associatn between homosexualy and ath seems to be a too emphasized theorem. Mann’s difficulty acceptg his homosexualy was also found 1925 when Thomas wrote a small say entled “On Marriage”. In this ltle work Mann oppos marriage (obvly heterosexual) to homosexualy as if they were the only two possible optns.
