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)
