Oh. Wieso habe ich noch nie etwas von Schnitzler gelesen? Das ist toll, das ist intensiv, das ist extrem modern. Natürlich hat der Gustl genervt, natürlich denkt man immer wieder "Tötest du dich jetzt oder nicht?!?" und natürlich ist das Ende ein bisschen forciert. Aber es funktioniert und es passt. Besonders spannend ist es, aus der Sicht von jemandem zu lesen, der so unglaublich unsympathisch ist.

Local man gets tremendously upset about trivial things, threatens to kill himself and learns no lesson from the experience.

Un librito muy curioso. El teniente Gustl tiene que batirse en duelo y reflexiona sobre ello mediante la corriente de consciencia. Toma una letal decisión y valora lo que sucederá después. Finalmente acude a su cafetería de siempre y allí sufre una revelación que trastoca sus planes.
