"An NYRB Classics Original One seemingly ordinary evening, Eduard Saxberger arrives home to find the fulfillment of a long-forgotten wish in his sitting room: A visitor has come to tell him that the youth of Vienna have discovered his poetic genius. Saxberger has written nothing for thirty years, yet he now realizes that he is more than merely an Unremarkable Civil Servant after all: He's a Venerable Poet for whom Late Fame is inevitable--if, that is, his new acolytes are to be believed. Arthur Schnitzler was one of the most admired, provocative European writers of the twentieth century. The Nazis attempted to burn all of his work, but his archive was miraculously saved, and with it, Late Fame. Never published before, it is a treasure, a perfect satire of literary self-regard and charlatanism"--… (mais)

This book examines the inner world of a man who has lived his life, who has made compromises and is reconciled to them. He is fleetingly encouraged to think that his moment may not yet have passed when younger poets "discover" his early work, work written before he blended into mainstream humdrum struggle of simply living. We see you hopes for acknowledgement and his chagrin when he realizes that this spotlight , too, will be fleeting. Good character study, some interesting meditations on age. Short, easy read. ( )

Although Schnitzler patterned the Enthusiasm literary circle, populated by vain mediocrities, after literary acquaintances of his in Vienna in the 1880s, their behaviors and exchanges ring true today separated by 140 years and 4000 miles. One cannot help but see the empty performances of "unappreciated geniuses" and the backbiting among the Enthusiasts in social media today, and frankly in academia as well. ( )

Back in the late seventies, Masterpiece Theatre "did" a bunch of Schnitzler's stories which I found haunting and marvelous. (After seeing the program I went and read the stories). He was Viennese and mainly wrote between the 1880's and his death in 1931. This novella is about a man, Eduard Saxberger, now in his late sixties who is "discovered" by a small group of young writers who call themselves "The Enthusiasts". He wrote one book of poetry called "Wanderings" in his twenties and then gave up poetry and took a job in the civil service. He has led a quiet and uneventful and not unhappy life, although, maybe yes, something has been missing . . . This sudden recognition awakens dormant feelings and ideas, long ago set aside and buried. The group settle on having a recital, and want him to write a new poem, when he fails to do this (not without trying) they agree that someone else can read some of his published poems. The timing is somewhat vague, but let us say it all transpires in that time of late winter to early spring, maybe six weeks. The novella explores the sources of contentment and discontentment, of envy and disillusion, of sensitivity and callousness (especially in artists!) -- and, as is written in the afterward, the uncomfortable gap between the creative and the "bourgeois" life. While the novella is rather harsh about the egotism of the young artists, and whiule you might think Schnitzler is showing that the life of the straightforward bourgeois is preferable to the foolish delusions of writers, there is great compassion too for this desire that the young have to create something of beauty and value -- and don't have the determination or talent with which to succeed in the end. I was left with the sense that Schnitzler didn't think it foolish at all to try, but that so few would succeed and that recognizing your limitations is not the worst thing. A lovely novella -- deceptively quiet. **** ( )

Tragikomische, expressionistische novelle die lang als verloren stond geboekstaafd, maar nu 'herontdekt' werd. Puik, universeel verhaal dat je bij de kladden grijpt, over loze dromen, oud worden en niet verwezenlijkte ambities. Moest meer dan eens aan Murnau's 'Der letzte Mann' denken. Wat een compliment is, voor alle duidelijkheid. Knappe vertaling, ook. ( )
