I'm happy that you enjoyed reading it. In the near future two of my new stories are going to appear in "The New Yorker". I'm planning also another book. With kindest regards. Sincerely". Richard Berczeller (1902-1994) was an Austrian physician and author, working as a doctor in the 1920's and 1930's while in Europe. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1938 and was held as a political prisoner, only released when he agreed he would leave the German Reich. Upon his arrival to America, Berczeller continued as a doctor, working as a physician for lower income families. He also began writing autobiographical pieces about his time in Germany and his life, including his books Displaced Doctor, Time Was, and A Trip Into the Blue and Other Stories. Many of his short stories were published in The New Yorker. He also had a one-time acting role in a 1922 Sodom und Gomorrha film. Light surface creases, with heavier crease on bottom right. Normal mailing folds. Corners slightly worn. Ink slightly haloed, but legible. Otherwise, fine condition.
