Arnold Schoenberg and Thomas Mann, two towering figures of
twentieth-century music and literature, both found refuge in the
German-exile community in Los Angeles during the Nazi era. This
complete edition of their correspondence provides a glimpse inside
their private and public lives and culminates in the famous dispute
over Mann's novel Doctor Faustus. In the thick of the controversy
was Theodor Adorno, then a budding philosopher, whose contribution
to the Faustus affair would make him an enemy of both families.
Gathered here for the first time in English, the letters in this
essential volume are complemented by diary entries, related
articles, and other primary source materials, as well as an
introduction by German studies scholar Adrian Daub that
contextualizes the impact these two great artists had on
twentieth-century thought and culture.
