Mark Levy, San Francisco Chronicle Review
"[A] vitriolic yet appreciative memoir of his artistic education, artistic and literary friends, and ideological flirtations."
Book Description
This acclaimed autobiography by one of the twentieth century's greatest satirical artists is as much a graphic portrait of Germany in chaos after the Treaty of Versailles as it is a memoir of a remarkable artist's development. Grosz's account of a world gone mad is as acute and provocative as the art that depicts it, and this translation of a work long out of print restores the spontaneity, humor, and energy of the author's German text. It also includes a chapter on Grosz's experience in the Soviet Unionomitted from the original English-language editionas well as more writings about his twenty-year self-imposed exile in America, and a fable written in English.
