Klappentext zu „Käsebier Takes Berlin “
In Berlin, 1930, the name Käsebier is on everyone's lips. A literal combination of the German words for "cheese" and "beer," it's an unglamorous name for an unglamorous man - a small-time crooner who performs nightly on a shabby stage for labourers, secretaries, and shopkeepers. Until the press shows up.In the blink of an eye, this everyman is made a star: one who can sing songs for a troubled time. Margot Weissmann, the arts patron, hosts champagne breakfasts for Käsebier; Muschler the banker builds a theatre in his honour; Willi Frächter, a parvenu writer, makes a killing from Käsebier-themed business ventures and books.
All the while, the journalists who catapulted Käsebier to fame watch the monstrous media machine churn in amazement - and are aghast at the demons they have unleashed.
Autoren-Porträt von Gabriele Tergit
Gabriele Tergit (1894-1982) was a novelist and reporter who rose to fame in 1931 with her first novel, Käsebier Takes Berlin. A group of SA-men tried to force their way into her home in 1933 after she criticised the Nazis; she fled first to Czechoslovakia and then to Palestine before settling in London. There, she worked on her colossal novel of generations of German-Jewish life, The Effingers (1951), and acted as secretary of the PEN Centre for German-language writers abroad.
