Inaccurate, fawning biography for a bad writer and a bad man.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 7 years ago
Stephen Parker fawns over Brecht, continuously rationalizing Brecht's terrible decisions and lack of talent.
Brecht was a sociopath, a plagiarizer, a misogynist and a hack. Parker's biography glosses over pretty much every piece of fact that would give us the truth in order to elevate someone who has already received too much fame for doing too little.
For an honest look at the man and his work, read John Fuegi's book Brecht & Co. instead.
