Night Games cover

These artful new translations of nine of Schnitzler's most important stories and novellas reinforce the Viennese author's remarkable achievement.

Simply masterful...These clear, uncluttered translations are dreamlike. * The Review of Higher Education *
Startlingly...life's universal themes are all here: the craving for erotic fulfillment, the fragility of love, the yearning for wealth, and the abruptness of death...these stories are rock-solid. * Publishers Weekly *
One of the most distinctive and compelling voices of the early modernist movement is heard again in this elegant collection of nine urbane, perversely comic, deeply disturbing stories. * Kirkus *
Margret Schaefer's fresh translation of nine stories and novellas brings most back into print for the first time in decades. * The Dallas Morning News *
