In this autobiography, Marcel Reich-Ranicki, one of the most influential figures in German literary criticism, narrates his experiences in the Warsaw ghetto, his relationship with Gruppe 47, and his career as a critic in the newspaper Die Zeit and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The book offers an instructive and surprising vision of European intellectual life over the last sixty years, with anecdotes and encounters with figures such as Canetti, Brecht, Böll, and Günter Grass.
Marcel Reich-Ranicki was a Polish-born German literary critic and member of the informal literary association Gruppe 47. He was regarded as one of the most influential contemporary literary critics in the field of German literature and has often been called Literaturpapst in Germany. His TV appearances made Reich-Ranicki a household name even among non-readers; in 2010, a survey found that 98% of Germans had heard of him.
