Because it never found direct mention in any of his
statements about literary theory, the short fiction of
Heimito von Doderer, as appealing as it is demanding, has
not infrequently been assessed by commentators, even up to
the present, as a string of casual or secondary pieces and
accordingly overlooked. To help revise this low estimate,
the second volume in the series of Schriften der Heimito
von Doderer-Gesellschaft is presenting, on the one hand,
a series of letters and other texts by the author which,
taken as a whole, can be viewed as a set of fragments toward
Doderer's theory of the short story, and, on the other, a
set of contributions originating from sessions at a
symposium on Doderer's short fiction that took place at the
Literary Colloquium in Berlin from November 12 to 14, 1999.
This second volume also contains a report on the first five
years of the Heimito von Doderer Literature Award as well as
- for the first time - reviews.
