I see that my friend Mister Hans Moleman has written an interesting reference to Buchmendel, a great short story by Stefan Zweig. He being one of the greatest writers of all time (Zweig, not Moleman), I was intrigued by his (Moleman’s, not Zweig”s) linkage with some reflections on the decay of cities (specifically “Old Manhattan”) by Dr. Phyllis Chesler.
My favorite of Zweig’s writing is his novel Beware of Pity. “Buchmendel” is a great story. Phyllis Chesler is a brilliant commentator.
And Moleman is pretty good, too. If you like his kind of stuff.
