A review by synnereads
Sjakknovelle by Stefan Zweig

mysterious reflective tense

3.5

A gripping and thought-provoking short story (or novella? short novel?). It was good, but I personally found it a little underwhelming.

I tried reading some interpretations of the story afterwards, and I read a bit about the author and the context the book was written in... and, DAMN, this book was written against a truly dark and sad backdropšŸ„²
