Autorenporträt

Klaus Mann (1906-1949) wrked as a theatre critic and wrote prolifically, publishing novels, collections of short stories and plays. The son of Thomas Mann, he is also regarded as one of the greatest German writers of the twentieth century. Persecuted for his homosexuality, he was - unlike his father- an opponent of Nazism from the beginning, fleeing Germany in 1933 and being stripped of his citizenship a year later. His most famous work, Mephisto, was published in 1936 and, like Alexander, is a searing indictment of a corrupt society. Mann died from an overdose of sleeping pills in 1949.
