"Those who dismiss Brecht as a yea-sayer to Stalinism are advised
to read these journals and moderate their opinion." (Paul Bailey,
Weekend Telegraph) Brecht's "Work Journals" cover the period from
1938 to 1955, the years of exile in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and
America, and his return via Switzerland to East Berlin. His
criticisms of the work of other writers and intellectuals are
perceptive and polemic, and the accounts of his own writing
practice provide insight into the creation of his dramatic works of
the period, the development of his political thinking and his
theories about epic theatre. Also integrated into the journals are
Brecht's immediate reactions to and commentary upon the events of
the period: his political exile's view of the course of World War
II and his account of the House Un-American Activities committee."A
marvellous, motley collage of political ideas, domestic detail,
artistic debate, poems, photographs and cuttings from newspapers
and magazines, assembled, undoubtedly for posterity by one of the
great writers of the century" (New Statesman and Society)
