PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Mansfield's first published work, which pierces the bourgeoisie at a Bavarian spa town in 13 interconnected stories. Frau Fischer, the narrator, is wonderful -- and entertaining. The stories with titles like "Germans at Meat" and "The Baron" are sprinkled with snatches of self-incriminating dialogue. As a biographical note, Mansfield's proper mother sent her rebellious and pregnant daughter off to a guesthouse in Bad Wörishofen to have her child (which miscarried). This handsome paper edition is in the series of short works published by Herperus.
