Completed my first book of 2022! I consider Zweig to be a master of short stories like Chekhov. His prose is highly descriptive and the pacing of his stories flow at a fast, engaging pace. I don't consider this to be Zweig's masterpeice though as I think his autobiography “The World of Yesterday“ is truly his masterpiece. Regardless, I still highly recommend this book of short stories to anyone.

My first Stefan Zweig. I was uncomfortable with a male writer portraying a fictional young woman's obsessive love for a male writer, a love that bordered on monomania. But I stuck with this little novella until the end, and found it to be an incisive indictment of the male gaze, what it misses and inflicts.

Who knew 'judas' was another word for peephole? I didn't.

My first Zweig! @Trav

Trav Ohhh sorry about the late reply, I'm not really on here anymore. How did you find it? I'm so so ecstatic you decided to give Zweig a try. If you did enjoy this one then I highly recommend Beware of Pity -- it's my favourite. 8y
