Cool, thanks. I've been meaning to check it out as a companion piece to the work of another, considerably more famous early 20th century German-language Jewish writer from Prague, as there appear to be some surface similarities between the two.
Notorious white supremacist and antisemite H. P. Lovecraft was reportedly a fan, heh.

I've only read the Maugham, a long time ago, and remember it as pretty dreary.

I've just been bamboozled by The Good Soldier. Unreliable narrators can do that to you I guess. As a study of people who are all stone cold bananas I could maybe get behind it; if I'm meant to have any sympathy for them then, save Leonora, it ain't gonna happen.
