from Part III - The World’s Brecht
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 May 2021
Given the controversies surrounding Brecht's life and politics it is no surprise that he turns up in various degrees of fictionalization in works of his fellow writers. It is also little surprise that the fictionalized “Brecht” rarely transcends caricature. Some of the authors simply don't seem to know much about him and have little grasp of his work. However, comparing the historical Brecht to his fictional revenants is not the focus of this paper. After a survey of the various works in which "Brecht" appears, the paper discusses the more ambitious transformations, in the works of Lion Feuchtwanger (Success), Günter Grass (The Plebeians), and Peter Weiss (The Aesthetics of Resistance), evaluating them on their own merits.
