I really enjoy Hesse especially Narcissus and Goldmund and am looking for something similar to read. However I have read everything by Hesse.
Does anyone know some authors that are similar to Herman Hesse?
It depends what aspect of Hesse especially appeals to you as to what to recommend. As you mentioned "Narziss %26amp; Goldmund" you could do worse than reading Eco's "The Name of the Rose", if you haven't already - a very different theme from Hesse's book, but a similar setting and an equally worthwhile read.
Reply:Hesse is kind of on his own...
BUT lots of Hesse fans I know (like me) really dig Maugham's 'Razor's Edge'...kind of the Entwicklungsroman thing going on in it, which is a big theme for Hesse.
Reply:you should try Thomas Mann's "Joseph and His Brothers"
