Joseph Skibell

Original title: A Curable Romantic

earliest edition we have, 2010 Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2010 608 pages

When Dr. Jakob Josef Sammelsohn arrives in Vienna in the 1890s, he happens to meet Sigmund Freud, has a series of affairs, is haunted by the ghost of his abandoned wife, and eventually ends up in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940. His Candide-like adventures illuminate a Europe moving between a new scientific age and age-old superstitions and beliefs.
