Every Man Dies Alone: The Search for Hans Fallada
March 3, 7pm
Deutsches Haus at NYU, 42 Washington Mews, New York, NY 10003
;)
WITH THE KIND SUPPORT OF THE GERMAN BOOK OFFICE
To celebrate publication of the first ever Englsh translation of Every Man Dies Alone, join Publsher Dennis Johnson and Hans Fallada's son, Ulrich Ditzen at NYU's Deutsches Haus, for a discussion led by Eric Banks.
“A signal literary event of 2009 has occurred… Rescued from the grave, from decades of forgetting…[Every Man Dies Alone] testifies to the lasting value of an intact, if battered, conscience…In a publishing hat trick, Melville House allows English-language readers to sample Fallada’s vertiginous variety…[and] the keen vision of a troubled man in troubled times, with more breadth, detail and understanding…than most other chroniclers of the era have delivered. To read Every Man Dies Alone, Fallada’s testament to the darkest years of the 20th century, is to be accompanied by a wise, somber ghost who grips your shoulder and whispers in your ear: “This is how it was. This is what happened.”
