# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Robert Musil was born in Austria on 6 November 1880, and spent decades constructing The Man Without Qualities, a sprawling philosophical novel that interrogated the nature of self and society in the dying days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The work remained unfinished when he died on 15 April 1942, but its fragmented brilliance secured his place among the defining voices of literary modernism. What he left behind wasn't a closed book but an open question.
