No one reads Stifter’s 60-page novella Indian Summer:

In chapter four, we read about how Adalbert Stifter’s highly digressive, and as Frederick writes, ‘diffuse’ novel Indian Summer, so disturbed its readers that successive editions of the work radically reduced its three volumes of over 1,300 pages – one 1940 edition butchering it to less than 60 pages – as they were concerned to remove everything that did not pertain to the supposedly real story which, as Frederick demonstrates, is an insignificant aspect of the work: the entire novel having been focused on the time after this story and its very texture dependent on the feel of the resulting narrative dispersal.

Quote from Being in Lieu, discussing Narratives Unsettled: Digression in Robert Walser, Thomas Bernhard, and Adalbert Stifter 

Via flowerville and Twitchelmore
