The Libertine and The Stone Guest, 1996
Text

English manuscript for the book Der Verführer und der steinerne Gast, published in German only. Vienna/New York: Springer-Verlag, 1996

"Dedicated to Ludwig Wittgenstein and his beautiful house in Vienna, and to Robert Musil of Vienna and Prague. And Schönberg, which I imagine means “pretty mountain,” or “pretty stone,” and must be the same as Monteverdi if a “green mountain” means a “pretty mountain.” And to Heisenberg and to Einstein. What kind of a stein is a Wittgen’ stein?"
