Reviews"In Weimar Germany, Tucholsky (pronounced too-HOLE-skee) was big, the most brilliant, prolific and witty cultural journalist of his time. He remains big in Germany, a widely read author, with sales in the millions." --William Grimes, journalist, The New York Times, "Kurt Tucholsky was one of the most brilliant German Jewish writers and satirists of his time. He had to leave his beloved Berlin because of his biting, yet witty stories against militarism and Nazi Fascism." --Peter Schneider, author, The Wall Jumper, "In Weimar Germany, Tucholsky (pronounced too-HOLE-skee) was big, the most brilliant, prolific and witty cultural journalist of his time. He remains big in Germany, a widely read author, with sales in the millions." --William Grimes, journalist, The New York Times, "A representative selection from the man with the acid pen and the perfect pitch for hypocrisy, who was as much the voice of 1920s Berlin as Georg Grosz was its face." --Peter Wortsman, author, Tales of the German Imagination, "Kurt Tucholsky was one of the most brilliant German Jewish writers and satirists of his time. He had to leave his beloved Berlin because of his biting, yet witty stories against militarism and Nazi Fascism." --Peter Schneider, author, The Wall Jumper, "A representative selection from the man with the acid pen and the perfect pitch for hypocrisy, who was as much the voice of 1920s Berlin as Georg Grosz was its face." --Peter Wortsman, author, Tales of the German Imagination
SynopsisA complete satirical selection from the "man with the acid pen and the perfect pitch for hypocrisy," as Tucholsky-expert Peter Wortsman writes, this book contains Tucholsky's news stories, features, satirical pieces, and poems about his hometown Berlin. It depicts Weimar Berlin, its cabarets, its policies, its follies, its ticks, and its celebrities, such as Pola Negri, Gussy Holl, Bert Brecht, Max Reinhardt, and Heinrich Zille. Herr Wendriner, the chatty Berlin businessman, makes an appearance, as well as Lottchen, the flapper, modelled after one of Tucholsky's real-life girlfriends. The book contains some of Tucholsky's most famous pieces, more than one satirical biography of the author himself, and some of his most famed stories.
