The Play of the Eyes | Elias Canetti

Finally finished my project to read all three volumes of Elias Canetti's memoir. The last volume, The Play of Eyes, takes place mostly in Vienna of the 1930s, where Canetti hangs out with all the cool kids of the time: Hermann Broch, Anna Mahler, Robert Musil, Alban Berg, and others. The book's title comes from the play of Anna Mahler's eyes, in which Canetti had great interest. Interesting, given that he has so little to say about his wife Veza.
