A note on Feuchtwanger

Feuchtwanger's music books at the Villa Aurora.

I wrote about Lion Feuchtwanger's The Oppermanns for this year's New Yorker roundup of the Year in Rereading. I had previously read the novel in translation; this year I read it in German, as part of a small-scale Feuchtwanger marathon. The other novels in Feuchtwanger's Waiting-Room Trilogy — Success and Exile — also deserve to be back in print in English.
