		Ungar was said to have played a significant role in Czech Zionism through his skills as an organizer and the force of his personality.

		Hermann Ungar's novel, The Maimed, written in 1921/22, first appeared in print in its entirety in 1923.
		Ungar's subsequent literary career was brief and not especially noteworthy: some journalistic reportage and a second novel, The Class (1927).
		Originally begun as a first person narrative, Ungar switched to the third person so as to minimize the chance of being identified with his protagonist, Franz Polzer, a severely repressed and neurotic survivor of child abuse who as an adult is as much a victim of internal demons as outside forces.

	Hermann Ungar: Boys & Murderers
		Boys and Murderers is the first complete collection of novellas and stories in English from Hermann Ungar, author of the highly-acclaimed novel The Maimed.
		Forgotten for decades, Ungar's work has experienced a renaissance over the past years with translations appearing in a number of languages and new editions appearing in German, which has allowed him to take his place among the greats of 20th-century European literature.
		Ungar, a transplant from Moravia, was less revealed; a professional bureaucrat at one time employed at a bank, and a visionary who often underwrote his horrific preoccupations (incest, deformity, the decline of Empire) in the interests of classical brevity.

	Boys and Murderers by Hermann Ungar « Book Review « ReadySteadyBook - a literary site
		It would be perfectly apt to entitle Hermann Ungar’s entire fictional output Boys and Murderers encapsulating, as it does, his trademark concerns with sex and death and damaged lives.
		Ungar was born in the Jewish town of Boskovice in 1893 and died, after an operation for late-diagnosed appendicitis, in 1929.
		The Maimed was published in 1923 and won horrified admiration containing as it does the kind of sexual decadence and horrible cartoon quality of a Grosz painting.

	The Prague Post Online
		In The Maimed, Hermann Ungar, a contemporary of Kafka, takes us to a bizarre interwar Prague populated by petty bureaucrats who are all unraveling inside.
		Ungar reinforces the alienation by keeping the reader at a distance from his characters.
		Ungar's writing has a raw, unplanned quality, a reflection of his career as a lawyer and diplomat who wrote mostly in his spare time.

	The Maimed
		Having died young, Ungar wrote only two novels, in addition to a handful of plays and short stories; this is the first time his work has appeared in English.
		Hermann Ungar (1893-1929) was born to a prominent Jewish family in Boskovice, Moravia and studied at university in Berlin and Prague, where he later lived.
		Called by Thomas Mann a "sexual hell" as well as "pure artistry," The Maimed is set in Prague and relates the story of a highly neurotic, socially inept bank clerk who is eventually forced to have sexual relations with his widowed landlady.

	Herman Ungar: Boys & Murderers \| CESLIT
		A writer of unique talent whose life was prematurely ended by illness, he was much admired by Thomas Mann, who prefaces this volume, and known as the "Moravian Dostoevsky" for his analysis of the human psyche.
		In fiction that is often grotesque and comical, Ungar explores the depravities of the heart and delusions of the mind.
		Taking Prague as well as his hometown of Boskovice for his settings, he can be located in that illustrious tradition of both Prague German writers (he was associated with Max Brod in the Prague Circle) and Jewish writers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, such as Joseph Roth.

		Hermann Ungar (1893-1920) was a German-speaking Jew from Moravia who was active as a writer in Berlin and Prague in the 1920s.
		Critics spoke of him in the same breath as Kafka, and he was feted in France after the publication of the translation of The Maimed in 1928.
		The horror of Polzer's fall is emphasised by the matter-of-fact sobriety of Ungar's narrative style.

		Hermann Ungar is the most important author of his decade.
		Ungar gives us the flavor of a time when opportunities were limited and people struggled for the little they had.

	Hermann Ungar: The Maimed
		At the same time he must witness the steady physical and mental deterioration of his lifelong friend who is suffering from an unnamed disease.
		Ungar's The Maimed captures the suffocatingly claustrophobic life of Franz Polzer, a life haunted by lies, deceit, brutality, flmail, and physical and moral coruption.

		Hermann Ungar was completely unknown to me until I read a review of this translation, I think in the Guardian book review, and added it to my list of books to read.
		Ungar belongs to the generation of novelists who wrote between the wars, in German.
		I don't know whether Ungar was aware of Kafka's work, although one must suppose that he was, even in its bowdlerised form as it was then published.

	Projekt Gutenberg-DE - Kultur - SPIEGEL ONLINE
		Hermann Ungar, geboren am 20.04.1893 in Boskovice/Mähren, besuchte das deutsche Gymnasium in Brünn.
		Ungar publiziert im Laufe der zwanziger Jahre ein schmales, aber originäres Werk mit Erzählungen (»Knaben und Mörder«, 1920) und zwei Romanen (»Die Verstümmelten«, 1923; »Die Klasse«, 1927), das in der literarischen Öffentlichkeit seinerzeit durchaus für Beachtung sorgt, aber wegen der besonderen Exponiertheit des Sexuellen und der scheinbar erbarmungslosen Schilderung psychopathologischer Zustände kontrovers diskutiert wird.
		Thomas Mann etwa gehört schon früh zu seinen Bewunderern und widmet Ungar einen freundlichen, wenn auch etwas verdrucksten Nachruf, der viel von der »Sakramentalität der Sinnlichkeit« und der »geschlechtlichen Melancholie« redet, weil der Verdrängungserotiker nicht zugeben mag, was ihm wirklich an diesen Texten liegt, die durchgehende homoerotische Unterströmung nämlich, vor allem in Ungars erstem Roman.

		Die unverbrämte Schärfe und Drastik von Ungars Roman "Die Verstümmelten" hat die Kritik seiner Zeit verschreckt.
		Hermann Ungar starb 1929 im Alter von 36 Jahren in Prag.
		Die kurze Zeit seines Schaffens, die literarische Überproduktion seiner Zeit und der nachfolgende Nationalsozialismus förderten den Prozeß des Vergessens seiner literarischen Hinterlassenschaft unter den Ereignissen seiner Nachzeit, deren Grundsubstanz er realistischer und unverblümter als viele anderen beschrieben hatte.

		Unfortunately, the person that Blau chooses to confide in has no qualms about manipulating Blau in order to encourage him towards self-destruction.
		Ungar has written this book in a way that truly reflects Blau's state of mind, i.e.
		There are similarities between Blau and the main character in another of Ungar's books, 'The Maimed', but in that book there are several characters whose minds have degenerated beyond any hope, and they all come together in a kind of 'psycho critical mass'.

		Thomas Mann war vom schriftstellerischen Können des früh verstorbenen Tschechen Hermann Ungar begeistert, Stefan Zweig dagegen zeigte sich - wenngleich fasziniert - insgesamt eher angewidert.
		Der Rezensent Frank Schäfer stimmt Zweig zwar in seiner Diagnose zu, er hält den "Ekel vor dem Organischen" für die Essenz des Buches, aber trotzdem teilt er Thomas Manns Fazit: alles in allem ist er von dem Roman und dessen "klinischer, metaphernarmer, aber keineswegs kunstloser Prosa" sehr angetan.
		In schonungsloser Nüchternheit geschrieben, bei weitgehendem Verzicht auf Metaphern und schmückendes Beiwerk, eben wie eine klinische Fallstudie, liest sich dieses brutal offene Buch, wobei sich Ungar auf die Beschreibung von Symptomen beschränkt, sich jeder Deutung enthält. Stefan Zweig gebrauchte sogar den Begriff "Perversion" in Zusammenhang mit Ungars "Verstümmelten".
