"This volume forms a convincing starting point, in which the Viennese caf is revealed as a key site of fin-de-si cle modernity and of several modern urban identities. One cannot but hope for a sequel - that is, an even more extensive volume but one that is just as carefully prepared with beautiful illustrations and very extensive footnotes." - Academia.eduAll in all, this work contains fascinating essays that indeed flesh out some of the intricate issues of literary life that lie behind a simple cup of coffee. The caf was a place of refuge for many artists and writers; in addition, it acted as an active, lively, and, at times, boisterous place for political and social debate... For any course on fin-de-si cle Central Europe, this book will provide a necessary springboard into how and why intellectuals were so heavily invested in the modern times of the new century." - Journal
