This book worth reading? If yes, why? If no, why? Thanks for your help.

I've read it along with the rest of the short stories in the collection Schicksal und Traum, I think he has a clean style and a good grasp of what I'd guess you'd call novelistic and free indirect discourse, respectively, which works especially well when shifting in and out of dream, or delirium, like in some of the collected short stories, and not unlike Stefan Zweig
Also not unlike Stefan Zweig, the themes covered (gambling, adultery, incest, and more) provide good opportunity for Freudian psychology, which occasionally gets a bit thick, but it's not too bad

As in, when people say that Zweig and Schnitzler wrote 'psychological' novels/short stories, they often mean 'Freudian', but there's more going on and I think Schnitzler especially was more aware of the ultimate indeterminacy of the underlying processes of the mind

Wtf I was looking into this just yesterday
(and then discarded it because it sounded more like freudianism than dreamweave)
