Title: Vienna Vilified by Kvetching Chronicler
Product review: Join Frederic Morton on a tour of Vienna in the 1880's. Morton is a very knowledgeable guide. Unfortunately, he has little more than scorn for everything and everyone in sight. I suppose this is why he identifies with the neurotic, pleasure-seeking Crown Prince Rudolf, who was so uncomfortable with his surroundings, and in his own skin, that he committed suicide, after first murdering his seventeen-year-old mistress.After three hundred pages of Morton's nightmare version of this place and time, I'm ready for a more balanced and insightful treatment of the subject. Any recommendations?
