OTTO WEININGER’S LETTERS
to
Arthur Gerber
I received your card.
Perchè? Studio o romanzo? Lavori tu o scrivi? 42
Vienna, 8th February, 1902.
Are you still not yet in a condition to read? I would, you see, very much like to
conclude my notes and thoughts on “Peer Gynt”. Writing is very difficult for me at the
moment, and I would gladly have used a conversation with you about that, to ease the
self-formation of my thoughts. If, as things are, that is not possible soon, then I ask
you merely about just the book. Io ho denari, vorrei restituirtene. 43
Dear Arthur Gerber!
Next week:
Thursday main examination 44 -, Saturday secondary examination.
If you are still here, we can see each other on Saturday afternoon.
42 “Why? Is it your studies, or a novel? Are you working or writing?” [Trans]
