Joseph Schreiber's Reviews > S. S. Proleterka

This is the last of Jaeggy's currently translated works I had left to read and I did not want it to end. I used to think Sweet Days of Discipline was my favourite but this wins out, hands down. None of the gothic overtones that creep into so much of her other work, this is the most dispassionate and restrained coming of age story imaginable. Cold, calculated, and yet charged with a deep, sorrowful beauty.
