riverrun editions The Confusions of Young Toerless (riverrun editions) - Robert Musil; Ernst Kaiser; Eithne Wilkins; Jeremy Adler (Paperback) 11-11-2021

The Confusions of Young Torless is a taut, powerful depiction of teenage masculinity in this short novel set in an Austrian military academy. An unpopular boy is gradually bullied and humiliated by a coterie of better-off classmates until the almost unbearable conclusion. This was the work which made Musil's name and is his most popular work before his unfinished masterpiece, The Man Without Qualities.
