John in Victoria recroppedFor the first review to be published in my new “all sorts” blog, I’ve chosen Stig Dagerman’s eye-opening as well as discomfiting collection of reports from post-World War II Germany titled German Autumn.

Translated by Robin Fulton Macpherson and published in its first U.S. edition by the University of Minnesota Press, German Autumn is well worth the attention of all; however it should be particularly noteworthy to Twentieth Century and World War II history aficionados, as well as those with interests in journalism or sociology.
