Oh, the dramatics of it all… Beautiful prose, of course, with an interesting selection of adjectives at times that have that distinct 20th-century quality to them. Definitely reads more like a string of consciousness than anything more construed as far as cautionary tales go, which was pleasing, though, man, Toni Hofmiller is a complete puff(derogatory)((though in the reclamative tone of a lesbian woman)). The diagloues we’re engaging and so believable, no flowerly or suspended disbelief, which really drew me in. I’m happy to have learnt about Zweig’s friend and of my time spent uncovering the highly emotional Kekesfalva’s.
