Truth and Other Inventions. From horror novels to world literature – SWR2

In a way, most of the books in this well-read magazine are about the writer’s freedom to tell indifferent things about facts, just because he wants or needs to be told.

George Arthur Goldschmidt remembers his brother – the relationship was difficult, and the Nazi dictatorship did the rest to strain this relationship.

We’ll also talk about the individual interpretation of Chinese characters by Schuldt the avant-garde in Hamburg, about Evie Wilde’s feminist horror novel “Die Frauen”, so celebrated in England, and about the question of how authors can be journalists and writers at the same time – Tom Wolfe, for example example.

Finally, we look forward to Marcel Proust’s 150th birthday on July 10.
