Thursday Quotables – Blood Brothers
We don’t know much about Ernst Haffner, other that he was a social worker and a journalist of the Weimar Republic. He was active as a journalist in Berlin between 1925 and 1933, then he disappeared from all records, presumably engulfed by WWII.
This is his only novel, one of strong social critique.
