I wrote a lot about Torberg for my dissertation and although his Cold Warrior phase was pretty unpleasant, Tante Jolesch was and remains a marvelous book.
Thanks for this. I'd like the full quote in German if you have it please. I wrote a poem about the memorial X which will appear in one of my next two books with the Theodor Kramer Gesellschaft in English and German. Perhaps it will interest you,
"Dies ist ein Buch der Wehmut. Vielleicht hätte ich ein Buch der Trauer schreiben sollen, aber die möchte ich doch lieber mit mir allein abmachen. Wehmut kann lächeln, Trauer kann es nicht. Und Lächeln ist das Erbteil meines Stammes."

Which quote would you like in German?
The quote that follows the word Wehmut, please and thanks
