==Legacy== After his death, Musil's work was almost forgotten. His writings began to reappear during the early 1950s. The first translation of ''The Man Without Qualities'' in English was published by [[Ernst Kaiser]] and Eithne Wilkins in 1953, 1954, and 1960. An updated translation by Sophie Wilkins and [[Burton Pike]], containing extensive selections from unpublished drafts, appeared in 1995.<ref>{{cite book|author=The Man Without Qualities (2 volume set) |title=The Man Without Qualities (2 volume set): Robert Musil, Burton Pike, Sophie Wilkins: 9780394510521: Amazon.com: Books |date=9 December 1996 |publisher=Knopf Doubleday Publishing |isbn=0394510526 }}</ref> Musil's work, including its philosophical aspects, has received more attention since then.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/jun/17/featuresreviews.guardianreview28 | work=The Guardian | first=Jane | last=Smiley | title=Robert Musil: The Man without Qualities | date=17 June 2006}}</ref> [[Milan Kundera]] said, "No novelist is dearer to me,"<ref>{{Cite book|title=Immortality|last=Kundera|first=Milan|publisher=HarperCollins|year=1991|isbn=0-06-097448-6|location=New York|pages=[https://archive.org/details/immortality00kund_0/page/50 50]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/immortality00kund_0/page/50}}</ref> and [[Thomas Bernhard]] said he was "addicted" to Musil.{{Citation needed|date=October 2023}} One of the most important philosophy journals, ''[[The Monist]]'', published a special issue on "The Philosophy of Robert Musil" in 2014, edited by [[Bence Nanay]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://monist.oxfordjournals.org/content/97/1|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150326010335/http://monist.oxfordjournals.org/content/97/1|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 March 2015|title=The Philosophy of Robert Musil|website=Monist.oxfordjouranls.org|access-date=16 December 2017}}</ref>
