The time-travelling Karl Glogauer first appeared in ‘Behold The Man’, a Nebula Award-winning novella (in New Worlds, 1966) (q.v.), which was expanded to novel length in 1969 (q.v.). Breakfast In The Ruins followed in 1972, and is not a sequel, as such, although it does feature Karl Glogauer — but whether it’s the same Karl Glogauer(s)…?
‘An Apocalypse: Some Scenes From European Life’ first appeared (under that title) a year after Breakfast In The Ruins, and comprises extracts from that novel, namely the main bulk of Chapters 2, 6 & 9.
