WViennese Novelettes,“ by Arthur
Schnitzler—Simon & Schuster.
These are the shorter works which
made the great Viennese author fa¬
mous even before he was known as
a playwright and novelist. Day¬
break,“ a marvelous gambling story,
heads the list, with Fraulein Else,“
one of the first "stream of conscious¬
ness’ stories, published in 1924,
None But the Brave,“ and the
Rhapsody,“ (1926) introducing the
Freudian theory of dreaming and
waking, which is further worked out
inBeatrice.“ All and any of these
exquisitely written stories are worth
reading separately. To have them
compiled in one volume is a rare
opportunity.

Arthur Schnitzler
Bold spirits say that Schnitzler, like Shaw and Ibsen,
already “dates.“ Some of his work does. Of course. But
some of it dates in a surprising fashion. Simon
Schuster published last spring Viennese Novelettes,“ a
volume of Schnitzler short stories, one written as early
as 1901, one as late as 1927. And the earliest is an
astonishing forerunner of that “stream-of-consciousness“
manner of writing fiction which English and American
writers so noisily discovered years later. Otto Schin¬
nerer's introduction to Viennese Novelettes’ will suggest
sidelights to those who, reading of Schnitzler’s death,
attempt to reassess his writing. He was, we often forget,
a doctor before he became a man of letters; and a Jew
in that anti-Semitic Vienna of pre-war days in which
so many Jewish world geniuses found expression—Freud,
Felix Salten, Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Jacob Wasser¬
mann among them.
