Lion Feuchtwanger…… Now THERE was a goddamn Jew among Jews

he’s absolutely meant to be who Victor Laszlo in Casablanca is standing in for

Wait really?????

it’s my personal theory, but the timelines and stories of how he got to the US absolutely line up

I buy it

I love this

Oh please please tell me you got an essay about him in the works

I wish! I need to read more of his work before I’m prepared! Someday… Maybe when *I’m* the writer in exile!

That’s ok, I need to read more of him too before I’m prepared to read that ;) Also, let’s hope the US takes a cue from France and you’re not gonna be a writer in exile, because where can you go from the country of exiled people?

...adding to my Cool Bookshops Within Walking Distance list.

It’s so good!

oh hell yeah

I love Feuchtwanger so much, he is my writing hero

I feel like I’ve said this before, but you absolutely need to see the special collection at the USC libraries, they have like EVERYTHING he put to paper

Ughhhhh I know, I really need to make a day of it

I mean, he wrote to anybody who was anybody, you’d need closer to a week
