Weimar on the Pacific: German Exile Culture in Los Angeles and the Crisis of Modernism Volume 41 Paperback - 2008
by Ehrhard Bahr
From the rear cover
"Ehrhard Bahr's sophisticated introduction to the Los Angeles of the migrs from Nazi Germany is a quintessential 'Hollywood' book: brilliant in casting, sunny in disposition, with hidden film noir touches. Bahr's reading of the central books of this world, by Bert Brecht, Thomas Mann, Alfred Dblin, his insights into Fritz Lang's films and Arnold Schoenberg's operas, make this a major contribution to American, German and world culture."--Sander L. Gilman, author of Bertolt Brecht's Berlin
"At long last, migr Los Angeles has been interpreted from the inside by an accomplished scholar of modern German culture. Weimar on the Pacific is a study of relevance to California, the nation, and contemporary Europe."--Kevin Starr, Professor of History, University of Southern California
