The first few pages I wasn't sure I would finish it (I downloaded the free ebook), because Else seemed like a very shallow person. Then I was sucked in and got into a rage. I was angry with her family, a certain man, and the women judging her (I was also afraid the male author might pull a 'stupid hysterical women' twist). The novella, written in 1924, feels very modern in its subject. I'm glad I read it (thanks @JazzFeathers for your review!).

JazzFeathers So happy you liked it too. It is a great story. And Else is an awesome character. I'm quite in awe that a male author created her. 6y
PickwickPlockPlock @JazzFeathers Yes, I was surprised, too, that a male author wrote it. 6y
Moony Oh I read "Reigen" from Schnitzler at school. It was interesting. It's an interesting time. 6y
PickwickPlockPlock @Moony I never read Schnitzler before, not even at school. I will look up what else he wrote. 6y

I was hesitant to read Expressionistic literature. I was expecting something very strange, possibly hard to follow. But for my 1920s writing project l need these era reads, so l went for it.

It is very strange, but it's also amazing. It's like being right there with Else, not with her, it's like BEING her. And there's a plot and it's gripping.
Loved it. Just loved it.

I wasn't sure what to expect from my first read of an expressionist author. Something strange for sure. Probably something too strange to follow.

Well, this is a strange story for sure, but l could follow perfectly and l loved it.
I've never seen such kind of storytelling. It goes behind the first- person narration. It's like being inside Else's head. Everything is filrered through her, there is no objective action.
Fantastic!

DeborahSmall I‘ve read Dream Story by Arthur Schnitzler and loved it, although more a novella. It was the basis for Stanley Kubrick‘s Eyes Wide Shut ❤️ 7y
diovival Ooooo 7y
erzascarletbookgasm Pretty edition 7y
LeahBergen @DeborahSmall This one is just over 100 pgs so it‘s pretty much a novella, too. I‘ll keep on the lookout for a copy of Dream Story. 😘 7y
