...peers into boudoir and bar, smart rendezvous and thieves' kitchen, Vienna woods and Vienna sewers, museums, palaces, and slums. There are political riots, murder, sadism, Lesbianism, and varieties of amorous intrigue; but Von Doderer's temperament triumphs over passion and violence to give the book a placid, mellow tone.
