The Sports Stories gave early evidence of Ödön von Horváth's talent as a writer of short prose. His short prose texts, written through 1933, appeared in major newspapers and journals and reveal their author's power as a social critic. For the first time, the volume offers a complete critically revised edition of this living body of work along with fragments of extant work projects in the context of their textual genesis.

Zusammenfassung

"Indes mangelt es noch immer an eingehenderen Studien, ganz zu schweigen von monographischen Arbeiten. Es bleibt zu hoffen und zu wünschen, der vorliegende Band werde die Forschung stimulieren, jene Defizite zu beseitigen."
