Cane and Unable

                              I've wondered why Hermann Hesse did not write a sequel to Steppenwolf .   Perhaps the life of a mild-mannered middle-aged man was not a 'hot topic',  was not relevant, or he simply did NOT consider the Steppenwolf as a worthy platform .   Recall that the vivid scenes were the result of drug ingestion and German Wine .   Recall that there was NEVER to be sexual intercourse with Hermine, we later learn was his [Jungian] Anima ---the Female Within .   Still----- what was to become of Harry ?   Did he  relinquish  his  hold  on  'bourgeois' Realty,   the  so-called   "Status Quo"   of  {surreal}  imbecilic superficiality ?
