The Jew Car by Franz Fhmann
Offers an examination of the psychology of National Socialism. In this title, each story presents a snapshot of a personal and historical turning point in the life of the narrator, beginning with childhood anti-Semitism and moving to a youthful embrace - and an ultimate rejection - of Nazi ideology.
"Franz Fuhmann's work, beginning with The Jew Car, can be read as a great literary self-analysis in the spirit of FreudThrough his work, he not only became conscious of his own thinking as it was seduced by totalitarianism, he also became capable of describing the mechanisms of a fascist upbringing with striking poetic power, transcending all theory." (Die Welt, on the German edition)"
Franz Fuhmann (1922-84) is one of modern Germany's most fascinating literary figures, and the author of dozens of novels, short stories, essays, poems, ballets, and children's books. Isabel Fargo Cole's translations include Hermann Ungar's Boys and Murderers and Annemarie Schwarzenbach's All the Roads Are Open.
