McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 1970 Excellent Translation in Dover Edition - Helpful Commentary Death in Venice (1912) is a disturbing story, one that is not easy to forget.

Here & Elsewhere gathers, for the first time, all of Burke's fiction: 23 short stories and Towards a Better Life (1932), ...             Kenneth Burke and the 21st Century (S U N Y Series in Speech Communication)1 review Va.)
