The Transposed Heads
A Legend of India by Thomas Mann"The story of The Transposed
Heads is at once the quintessence and the reductio ad absurdum of
all love triangles."
Lionel Trilling
"The transposed Heads is altogether delightfnl, worthy
of rank with Tonio Kr6ger or Death in Venice. It is
certainly the most charming of Mann's works. His irony has
never been more biting; it has never been more tender. Mann
has never shown greater insight into love, nor greater kindness
toward humanity. The sustained lightness of tone leaves a
singleness of impression perhaps impossible to attain in
longer works of tiction The Transposed Heads is, in
short, a restatement in parable form of Mann's intransigent
faith in the human intellect. It is also a rich and subtle
analysis of the psychology of friendship and love."
