Author Description

"In Embodied Memory, Anat Feinberg offers the first English-language study of the controversial dramatist George Tabori. A Jewish-Hungarian playwright and novelist, Tabori is a unique figure in postwar German theatre - one of the few theatre people since Bertolt Brecht to embody "the ideal union" of playwright, director, theatre manager, and actor. Tabori's career, first in the United States and later in Germany, is fraught with controversy.". "Making use of invaluable archival material, Feinberg's biographical account is followed by a study of Tabori's experimental theatre work."--BOOK JACKET.
