Bertolt Brecht's Art of Dissemblance by Tony Calabro This book sets out to challenge Brecht's stature as one of the foremost dramatists of our century. From the start, Calabro faults Brecht's politics as well as his personality. He maintains that the "Brecht industry" is a sham instigated by left-wing academics whose stock-in-trade is rubbish. He scorns Brecht's admirers, referring to them as hypocrites whose "predisposition to egalitarian euphoria was not at all dimmed by the events (of] Tiananmen Square." Calabro perceives a connection between Brecht's "demagoguery~' and the "cult of personality:' associated with that of Stalin, and even finds "a striking parallel" between Brecht and Hitler. And this is just the preface. In very good condition. The dustjacket is in good condition with some marks and stains.
