He has hardly been on my radar but I heard the philosopher A C Grayling on Desert Island discs the other day, and the book he would choose to take to a desert island was The man without qualities.
Looking into the author and the book I think this is the kind of thing I would like - a driven author spending most of his working life on a project, his family close to poverty. The end work (unfinished) is close to being a personal testament to one man's vision of how the world is.
Does anyone have any views?

Robert Musil's magnum opus is not only a complete "vision of how the world is", but it contains enough philosophy, science, history, humor, and love of humanity to last a lifetime.
All presented by Musil in The Man Without Qualities using a lucid and inviting prose style.
