Mona Wollheim in diesem kurzen Büchlein beschreibt ihre Begegnung mit Ernst Weiss in Paris 1936-1940. Ernst Weiss natürlich ist einer meiner innig geliebten deutschen Exilliteraten der 1930er Jahre und 1940er, welchen I had recently discovered by chance.
Wollheim had emigrated as a young German woman, recently married to Paris, why not directly clear. She and her husband were Jewish or politically engaged? The former can be a commentary on Kafka's interest in Jewish issues seem unlikely, but they were probably stateless. In Paris, they meet with White (I desöfteren was wondering how big this exile community was and whether there ultimately all knew more or less), which fascinated her as interested in literature culture citizens and for whom she cared more and more and finally even his secretary, confidante and lover is.
Unfortunately, Wollheim is not a very good writer, then their self-written and quoted poems are corny and could not continue to speak of. It leaves out much that would damage its reputation or morality, so that she was his mistress and how the lived triple relationship between her husband, her and Weiss developed, and sacrificed by much of what had instructive for the reader are able.
The only interesting for me in this little book (just 90 pages), was the insight into the daily life of the German exile in Paris in the 30s, which it offered. In addition, the memory of the often forgotten fact that the bulk of the Displaced persons were not great writers, painters and philosophers, yes, but completely unknown to us today-normal (even if cultural) citizens.
hardly advisable, then, although my fascination continues with the exile literature, and - very indirectly - in this case received more food.
