Lion Feuchtwanger’s novel The Oppermanns

By October 7, 2022April 28th, 2023No Comments

Lion Feuchtwanger’s novel The Oppermanns “reads like a five-alarm fire because it was written that way, over a mere nine months, and published shortly after Hitler became chancellor, only lightly fictionalizing events as they occurred in real time.”  It has just been rereleased with a revised translation by Joshua Cohen.  (The New York Times, 10/3/22; The New York Times, 10/6/22; The Atlantic, 12/19/22)
