de gustibus non est disputandum
de gustibus non est disputandum, as the Uzbeks say. I bought this book because a German-speaking Danish friend of mine recommended it to me, and because it has had very good reviews (in Starritt's 2013 translation) from newspapers that I respect, such as The Economist and The Independent. To me though it seems a dull, unimpressive piece of work, written in a pedestrian style, and badly constructed (the technique where the crux of the story is disclosed in a long monologue by one of the characters strikes me as tiresome, unnatural, and artificial). But lots of people greatly admire Zweig's writing.
