Reviews
Sterling weaves together the traces of the masses across Broch's career as a published thinker and author and shows how such an approach offers a unique study of the masses as both an elusive literary figure and a political, social, and psychological formation.
Notoriously, Hermann Broch never makes it easy for his readers, be it in the tortuous style or the challenging subjects of his writing. Yet as Sterling shows throughout this lucid and thought-inducing study, everything that so exercised Broch during the 'age of extremes' has, alas, become current again today.
This is one of the best and clearest investigations of Hermann Broch's work that has appeared in recent years. . . . It is the first monograph devoted to the representation and analysis of the modern mass in Broch's narrative and essayistic works.
