Renowned Austrian writer (1880–1942) whose unfinished novel The Man Without Qualities is regarded as one of the most important modernist novels. Rare ALS in German, signed “Musil,” on a 5.5 x 3.5 picture postcard of Cecilia Metella’s memorial in Rome, September 23, 1913. Addressed to Austrian writer Franz Blei (1871-1942), a close friend of Franz Kafka. Translated in full: “Because I did not get a sleeper wagon to Vienna, I went to Rome, instead. To my utter delight.” In a postcript, he adds: “I will probably be back in Vienna in a week or so.” In fine condition, with a bit of scattered light soiling.
