All the stories are great, but 'The Perfecting of Love' blew me away. An INCREDIBLY unique voice, Musil blends together stream of consciousness with simply some of the most gorgeous imagery I have ever read. His background in science emerges through the dazzling use of geometrical, physiological, and acoustic symbolism and metaphor. Amazing text.

Read in October, 2007
the stories kept getting better as i went along, by the time i got to the fourth, i didn't want to finish for fear that the last story wouldn't live up to the trend. i needed not worry. this is now one of my favorites because i can see myself revisiting the stories and still finding new details.

I'm undertaking a project to reread forgotten books I stumble across in my shelves. I do seem to have had rather interesting taste at times.

"Lady from Portugal" is a clever story on modern european identity rich in metaphors worthy of poetry.
