A representative selection from the man with the acid pen and the
perfect pitch for hypocrisy, who was as much the voice of 1920s
Berlin as Georg Grosz was its face. Kurt Tucholsky was a brilliant
reporter, satirist, poet, lyricist, and storyteller of the Weimar
Republic, a pacifist and a democrat; a fighter, lady's man, theater
lover, political animal, and also an early warner against the
Nazis. They hated and loathed Tucholsky, and drove him out of his
country. The famed journalist became an outcast, an enemy of the
state. His books were burned and banned in 1933, he died alone in
Sweden. But he is not forgotten.With this extraordinary and also
funny book, Tucholsky's work about his hometown Berlin is published
for the first time in the United States.

Berlin Berlin is a satirical selection from the man with the acid
pen and the perfect pitch for hypocrisy, who was as much the voice
of 1920s Berlin as Georg Grosz was its face. It shines a light on
the Weimar Republic and the post-World War I struggle, which
fore-shadowed the Third Reich. Kurt Tucholsky was a brilliant
satirist, poet, storyteller, lyricist, pacifist, and Democrat; a
fighter, lady's man, reporter, and early warner against the Nazis
who hated and loathed him and drove him out of his country. He was
a "small, fat Berliner," who "wanted to stop a catastrophe with his
typewriter," wrote his contemporary, Erich Kastner. When he began
to write, he had five voices-in the end, he had none. He was one of
the most famous journalists in Weimar Germany, surrounded by women,
but he died alone in Sweden, an enemy of the state, among the first
authors whose books were burned and banned by the Nazis in 1933.
But he is not forgotten. This book collects Tucholsky's news
stories, features, satirical pieces, and poems about his home town
Berlin, never published in America before. With a foreword by New
York author Anne Nelson and an introduction by Ian King, the chair
of the Kurt-Tucholsky-Society.
