Bertolt Brecht: His Life, His Art and His Times por Bertolt Brecht
Rounded up, this Life is more of an analysis of Brecht's work and the milieu within which he operated than any sort of chronicle of his life. His upbringing is vague as is his conscription, his transformation from vaudevillian to humanist, much less a politicized is likewise left opaque.

This is a messy biography but one littered with quotes, it particularly leans on the collected poetry-- which I finished earlier this year. I did enjoy the anecdote of Brecht being investigated by the HCUAC during his exile in the US, with an apparent taciturn Richard Nixon being involved in hermeneutic thumb twiddling.

Apparently just before his death Brecht was annotating his copy of Waiting For Godot. How cool would that have been?… (mais)
