Alexander reviewed Höhenrausch by Harald Jähner
review of Höhenrausch (Vertigo)
3 stars
how odd! was excited by the promise to discover the roaring twenties in germany without looking for the approaching shadow of the third reich the whole time. was a little bit embarassed that fascism started by a whim and self pity this way. it is a great and vivid description of the arts, ideas of the time with a nice bit of real life sprinkled within. but it lacks in a theory or an intention to give this collection --or rather encyclopedia-- substance i think.
