The second volume of Elias Canetti's autobiography, after The Tongue Set Free. I liked it very much, more than the first. The author writes extremely well, and we can understand his intellectual growth as a man and a writer. The depiction of the Vienna and Berlin of the 20s is excellent, seen through his keen sense of observation, and I find extremely interesting the way in which he describes the genesis of his book.
