The Draem master:The stories of Arthur Schnitzler, the amoral voice of fin-de-siècle Vienna.
By Leo Carey
“Anatol” established Schnitzler as the sardonic, amoral voice of his generation.
Meanwhile, as he entered his forties, the pace of his sex life was becoming a little less frenetic. In 1903, he married Olga Gussmann, an aspiring actress and singer twenty years his junior, with whom he had a son and a daughter. The Schnitzlers became part of the Viennese cultural élite, in which, it seems, everyone knew everyone. Gustav and Alma Mahler were friends, as were Stefan Zweig, Bruno Walter, Felix Salten, and Franz Werfel. The satirist Karl Kraus was an enemy.
