About the author

Irmgard Keun (1905 – 1982) was a German novelist. She is noted for her portrayals of the life of women in the Weimar Republic as well as the early years of the Nazi Germany era. She was born into an affluent family and was given the autonomy to explore her passions. After her attempts at acting ended at the age of 16, Keun began working as a writer after years of working in Hamburg and Greifswald. Her books were eventually banned by Nazi authorities but gained recognition during the final years of her life.

Die Briefe zeigen, was für eine komplizierte Person Irmgard Keun war. Sie zeigen auch, was Alkoholsucht mit einem Menschen macht. Nebenbei erfährt man einiges über den Schriftsteller JosephRoth.
