“Peter Wortsman’s translation is splendid, succeeding better than any I’ve read in capturing this author’s unique combination of quizzical authority and austere hedonism.”—Anthony Heilbut, The New York Times Book Review
From one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century come these chiseled essays and sketches written in the 1920s. Exploratory, quirky, full of soul and humor. (Reprint of the Eridonos edition, 1987.)
