Correspondence : with Alma Mahler, Franz Werfel, and Adolf Klarmann 1940-1979.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155864630

Some of Torberg's letters to Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel have been published in the collection Liebste Freundin und Alma: Briefwechsel mit Alma Mahler-Werfel, nebst einigen Briefen an Franz Werfel ed. David Axmann and Marietta Torberg (Langen Müller, 1987). Included are a number of typescripts and a clipping of various writings of Torberg, both prose and poetry. Among the latter are the following: a typed statement by Torberg (apparently prepared in the context of a legal dispute) detailing the negotiations that had led to the sale of the film script "Love and Hatred of Zorah Pasha" (co-written by Torberg and Werfel) to Sam Spiegel and Boris Morros of Twentieth Century Fox, with George Marton acting as an agent; a typescript of the memorial speech (Gedenkrede) that Torberg held about Werfel at the Austrian Institute in New York City, in 1945 (he mentions in his letter to Hiltbrunner that it was published in the German literary periodical Neue Rundschau); and clippings (2) of an essay about Alma Mahler, "Ein Denkmal ihrer selbst," published in Süddeutsche Zeitung, just after Alma's death.
