"Schnitzler was a remarkable and versatile talent who adapted for his artistic purposes both the new techniques of psychoanalysis and what was later to be known as the stream of consciousness." - John Bayley, Times Literary Supplement

"What makes it a tour de force is that the story is old, in a superbly sustained stream-of-consciousness, entirely from Else's point of view." - Gilbert Adair, Evening Standard
