- Summary
- This is a story of a young man's obsession with a Berlin variété actress. Despite having his future career mapped out for him in the diplomatic service, the young man begins to question all his family values under Sibylle's spell. His family, future, and social standing become irrelevant when set against his overriding compulsion to pick her up every night from the theater so they can go for a drive. This novella is an evocative narrative, with many intriguing parallels to the author's own life. In fact, she admitted after publication that her hero was a young woman, not a man, leaving little doubt that this is a literary tale of lesbian love during socially and politically turbulent times.
