Perhaps that is an artifact of the kind of book Schorske wrote.<br /><br />I can imagine - maybe should have - written the post that Miguel suggests. The Surrealist dreamy weird stuff is easy - every decent writer can do that - it is the collapse into normality that is the difficult part.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-80766571805767761522012-11-17T13:28:15.294-06:002012-11-17T13:28:15.294-06:00Extraordinary novella, Dream Story.

Very enjoyable and I found Schorske's short review of it (in <i>Fin-de-siècle Vienna</i>) very well done.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688525659034403580noreply@blogger.com
