" One central Rilke text that hasn't been mentioned yet, is the novel
"Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge" from 1910 (
-Aufzeichnungen" are  "notes": Is there an English translation?), a
book Sartre was very fond of.  It's also one of my favourites."

Yes, there is indeed an English translation!  It was done in 1949 by
M.D. Herter Norton and published by Norton (no relation) under the
title _The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge_.  There was an earlier
translation, according to the translator's foreword, under the title
_Journal of My Other Self_.  It's one of my favorites, too.  I haven't
thought about it for a while.  I've always had a special appreciation
for prose works by writers who are known primarily (even almost
exclusively) for their poetry, like Kenneth Patchen and Dylan Thomas,
in addition to Rilke.
