Angered by what she believes is Elias Cannetti's "coy treatment" of women in his writings, especially in Die Blendung (1935), Foell assails Canetti in her study, which is "highly personal" in its stimulus. Foell heavily relies on the beliefs of "gender theorists" Sigmund Freud, Karl Kraus, and especially Otto Weininger to support her comments about misogyny in Die Blendung. She also extensively theorizes about the psychoanalytic inferences she sees in Die Blendung, an extension of her arbitrary pronouncements on gender/sex in the novel. Foell, a college teacher of German, incomprehensibly assumes that all readers of her book know German as well as she does. Throughout Blind Reflections, Foell excessively quotes German without any translations, not only for short phrases but also for German passages that take up one third of a page. Overall, Foell's Blind Reflections too often is a work of over-authoritative, arbitrary pronouncements and interpretations, even admonitions to Canetti: Foell writes " ... an enlightened thinker like Canetti should have refrained from exploiting this stereotype." As this reviewer earlier has written, "Elias Canetti, for most American critics, presents numerous difficulties for adequate and accurate discussions." Resultantly, Foell in her study does little to explicate the enigmas of Canetti and his writings. Not recommended.
