Description: "Without the futurist elements of Dblin's work from Wang Lun to Berlin Alexanderplatz , my prose is inconceivable...He'll discomfort you, give you bad dreams. If you're satisfied with yourself, beware of Dblin."--Gnter Grass "I learned more about the essence of the epic from Dblin than from anyone else. His epic writing and even his theory about the epic strongly influenced my own dramatic art."--Bertolt Brecht "As we look back over the rich literary output of this great writer, as we look back over the long and fruitful life of this fighter and this friend of man, this perennial spring of spiritual life, we venture to ask: When will the gentlemen [ sic ] of the Nobel Prize jury discover him?"--Ludwig Marcuse, Books Abroad "[A] major writer who grappled with the roots of darkness in our time..."--Ernst Pawel, The New York Times
