5.0 out of 5 stars
Dense yet engaging
It seems as though the writer of the previous review missed the author's point entirely - namely, to demonstrate that previous conceptions of Kraus as a zealous, self-hating Jew oversimplifies his complex nature. Reitter delves deep into Kraus' life and work without suffocating the reader. The best analytical work I've found on the topic thus far.

expanded Phd thesis
This expanded Phd thesis does not do justice to the great Austrian satirist at the turn of the last century.The thesis is dilligently researched and documented but written with a somewhat forced premise to drive home the point that Kraus was an antisemite, whereas he raises his writings far above sectarian views.
