  • VIENNESE ROMANCE by David Vogel, Scribe.

VIENNESE ROMANCE by David Vogel, Scribe.

In many ways this is an unromantic romance. Set in Vienna early in the 20th century, it is a recently discovered text by Vogel, a leading poet and author whose work was compared with Kafka and Thomas Mann, among others. His only published novel before this one was Married Life.

Whilst presenting a decadent city in the fraught years before the outbreak of war in 1914, it follows in detail the adventures of Michael Rost, a young Jewish man eager to follow up contacts with everyone he meets, some virtuous, others less so.

Fabulous fiction quotes

“Mma Ramotswe sighed. 'We are all tempted, Mma. We are all tempted when it comes to cake. 'That is true' said Mma Potokwane sadly. 'There are many temptations in this life, but cake is probably one of the biggest of them.”
