Reply to comment by BereniceFleming in I read Siddhartha Novel by Hermann Hesse here is review of the book by figinjosejospe
Most of Hesse, especially Magister Ludi, are must reads imo. They helped me find my "inner man" if that makes any sense. I was also reading into a lot of wild/hairy myth at the time, so maybe it was a good coincidence, but I've told a lot of women that I think Hesse is a nice portal into a healthy search for a masculine psychology. If there was a male gender studies class, I'd hope that his literature would be included.
He was a patient-student of Jung iirc, you can feel the influence in his writing and meditations. Read Demian.

I remember The Sound and the Fury as hard to read when I was younger, but I haven't revisited it as an adult
