Everyone knows that Bertolt Brecht was one of the great
20th-century innovators in theatre - the literary-theatrical
equivalent of a Picasso or Stravinsky - and Germany's greatest poet
of the last century, but the playwright was also a dazzling writer
of stories. Storytelling permeated his art as a dramatist;
fundamentally in his plays he was a storyteller. This volume
collects the complete short stories written by Brecht, including
the prize-winning 'The Monster', and the fragmentary memoir
ghost-written by Brecht, 'Life Story of the boxer Samson-Korner'.
Brecht scholars Marc Silberman and Shuhsi Kao provide an
introduction and editorial notes.Fans of Brecht will find in the 37
stories assembled here the same directness, lack of affectation,
and wry humour that characterise his plays. Every lover of short
stories will discover an unexpected trove of pleasure in this "mine
for short-story addicts" ("Observer").
