Die Tante Jolesch, oder Der Untergang des Abendlandes in Anekdoten

Blurb

Austrian novelist and essayist Torberg (1908-79) recalled the coffeehouse scene in Vienna during his youth in the 1975 Tante Jolesch, and augmented it with a second volume in 1987. The English translation follows the format of the first, adding interesting anecdotes from the second. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
