Abstract

Musil’s friendship with the writer, adventurer, and entrepreneur Robert Müller, which lasted at least five years, was never as visible as in the days surrounding Müller’s suicide on 27 August 1924. Müller had never before published about Musil in such dense succession; Musil’s only publication about his colleague, the essay »Robert Müller«, was also written on the occasion of Müller’s death. While Müller describes his friend as occupying a distinctive position that is both set apart on the literary scene and marked by an affinity with Viennese psychoanalysis, Musil sees Müller’s existence as characterized mainly by an unfulfilled restlessness and a utopian placelessness.
