Fiction. Short Stories. Six stories previously unpublished in the US, now available from Sun & Moon Classics. As Steven Marcus in the New York Times Book Review observed: These early stories, ably translated by Peter Constantine and edited by Burton Pike, are well worth reading. They are also a welcome addition to the body of Mann's work in English. But they are something more. They remind us of what has been lost in the dissolution and passing of modernism. The boldness, daring and risk-taking in both formal, technical matters and in explicit, thematic explorations remain as admirable today as they were a century ago.
