Stefan Zweig (1881 – 1942), Austrian novelist, playwright, journalist and biographer.
As a teenager I read his captivating novella Chess Story (1941). PS. I'm thinking of an actress for S.Y. (whose first name is more common as a men's name); if you guess who, feel free to post it. EDIT: V That's right, Sean Young who acted Rachael in Blade Runner.
