"Dearest Georg" - Elias, Veza, and Georges Canetti

Generally, it's a good mix, and often a great mix. This book is the latter. Cowboy Gus and his gang rollick through 13 interconnected stories, serial reels of sorts. An unnamed narrator ruminates on the intentions of a man va. A New Vision of Relating. The first few chapters of self-styled guru Osho's spiritual insights on love, sex and meditation are infused with an idiosyncratic but reasonably mainstream flavor.

As the book progresses, however, Osho's teachings veer sharply away from The majority of the letters are from Veza to Georges and many of these were written in English, as required under the wartime censorship regulations. Many of them are about matters such as health concerns, and there are frequent complaints and explanations about why one party did not immediately respond to the other, or hasn't written for an extended period of time; because the correspondence is decidedly one-sided Veza's letter predominating, since Georges' weren't saved and because there are gaps in the correspondence, the collection reads in some fits and jerks despite an impressive and useful body of endnotes that fills in some of the absent information.

Nevertheless, an intriguing picture of this odd threesome emerges, especially Elias and Veza's odd relationship -- with Georges an outlet for Veza to complain to. Just how closely attuned to each other Veza and Georges were -- and how Elias sensed that -- is suggested by Veza noting that: It begins in , when Georges comes to hear that Elias and Veza are planning to get married. Writing to Elias, Georges is convinced: You are about to do the stupidest thing you could possibly do. However, one looks at it, there is no other conclusion.

Of course, Elias sees it differently. Beginning with the advantage of being able to piggy-back on Veza's statelessness "my statelessness was always a shaky affair and an additional official documentation will make it easier to gain citizenship somewhere else in the future" -- which turned out to be correct , he saw it as a win-win proposition. The marriage changes nothing in my relationship to Veza. She is my warmest and most selfless friend and yours as well, which you have obviously forgotten: If I ever wanted to really get married, which is highly unlikely, she would of course agree to an official divorce immediately.

Elias and his new mom wife did continue to be an odd, devoted pair, but Elias' serial womanizing -- and both their fragile mental states -- did not make for the easiest of unions. Nevertheless, they appeared to be mutually dependent, each a hold of last resort for the other. There's more about Elias' mental instability here than Veza's since she is constantly writing about him to Georges, while few letters from Elias survive , but she too suffers from great bouts of depression.

All this weighs on both of them -- Veza, for example, writing: I hope it's neurosis and nothing worse.
