Beschreibung:
Stefan Brecht was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1924, and came to America in 1942. He was a doctor of philosophy and had been a teacher, a writer on theater, Stein and Goya, as well as a late-night actor. Mr. Brecht passed away in early 2009.
Brecht brings decades of cultural observation to NYC's streets, missing neither harshness nor beauty, in a language bursting with the specific, punctuated by the lyric-a night city of desolation and courage he clearly loves, fetid and sublime.Kenneth Bernard, author of The Man in the Stretcher
