Half-Truths & One-&-a-Half Truths: Selected Aphorisms

by Karl Kraus

Half-Truths & One-&-a-Half Truths: Selected Aphorisms Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"An aphorism never coincides with the truth: it is either a half-truth or one-and-a-half truths," wrote Kraus. The aphorism was "a sub-genre [Kraus] considered the height of linguistic integrity. . . . With the help of notes and introductions by Zohn, the subtlety and archness of Kraus' linguistic gifts shine through."Peter Filkins, Bloomsbury Review

"Kraus is a superb aphorist."D. J. Enright, New York Review of Books

Synopsis:

'Kraus is a superb aphorist.'- D. J. Enright, New York Review of Books — 'Not only are the translations readable, but with the help of notes and introduction by Zohn, the subtlety and archness of Kraus' linguistic gifts shine through.' - Peter Filkins, Bloomsbury Review
