Notes	Morris's stay in Austria in the winter of 1933-34 provided a major impetus for him to develop his creative talent. Several formative experiences during that year haunted him and prompted his decision to present them in narratives and thus become a writer. He dealt with his experiences in Vienna and especially in an ancient castle in Lower Austria, north of the Danube, not only in "Solo," fifty years afterwards, when he presented the strange facts of his stay, but he fictionalized them in a complex novel, entitled "Cause for Wonder," published in 1963, twenty years earlier. (see Zacharasiewicz, Transatlantic Networks, p. 147).
