'All of Meyrink's hallucinatory novels have been published in English by Dedalus in fluent translations by Mike Mitchell, who also wrote an informative biography of Meyrink Vivo(2008). Mitchell has now edited The Dedalus Meyrink Reader, which includes previously untranslated short stories and autobiographical essays, as well as short selections from the novels... The Dedalus Meyrink Reader provides valuable translations of three autobiographical essays he wrote about his spiritual odyssey, from the first appearance of 'the Pilot', through his esoteric explorations, to his saving discovery of yoga and his conversion to Buddhism in 1927.Dedalus has also reissued Meyrink's first novel The Golem(1915) and his last novel, The Angel of the West Window(1927). The three books not only provide an overview of Meyrink's literary concerns, but also of his pecular spiritual journey.' Michael Saler in The Times Literary Supplement
