Description
Walter Rheiner's prose work offers a unique perspective on Expressionist themes, exploring metropolitan estrangement, intoxication, and the horrors of trench warfare. This bilingual edition presents his known writings in English translation, alongside a selection of his poetry. Rheiner's writing career was marked by personal struggle, including a lifelong dependency on cocaine and morphine. His novella "Cocaine" provides a haunting portrayal of Berlin's underbelly during the war years, foreshadowing the author's own tragic end at the age of 30. This collection brings together Rheiner's most notable prose work, offering a rare glimpse into the life and writing of this lesser-known but remarkable author.
