Fiction. Translated from the German by Vincent Kling. A story collection by the acclaimed Austrian novelist of the early and mid twentieth century, DIVERTIMENTI AND VARIATIONS mediates traditional and experimental fictional technique to explore an authentic self and creates musicallybased narrative forms. These narrative experiments were begun in 1923, not long after the publication of Joyce's Ulysses, with its fuguelike 'Sirens' chapter. Traditional psychological realism combines with fourpart 'symphonic' experimental formcomplete with development, intermezzi, and thematic repetition and variationto demonstrate how technique is adequate to reveal and resolve conflict. Love interests, family tensions, dreams forcing the dreamers to face their struggles, physical injury, a young blind woman's gaining sight, insanity, unexamined livesDoderer develops these themes by adeptly employing innovative narrative structures grounded in musical formalisms.
