Re: Tales of Hollywood - Heinrich Mann

what Katia wrote to her son Golo about it afterwards was that the beef had been excellent and that probably means Nelly was fucking a butcher.

Oh noooooo :(

It was her fifth attempt. (...) The last but one attempt had already nearly succeeded. (...) This last year was misery and horror. (...)I've never been near to a more guiltless sufferer. (...) Persons who don't know anything keep hinting at me that it is better this way. No.. To return to places where I was with her and not to bring her along? I hardly leave my apartment, for it has been hers.

:(((((((

Btw, thing which I don't think the bits on YouTube show is the clever way the tv version goes about using the running gag about Brecht's appearances.

Omg, no, it doesn't at all! I think it was just the parts with Heinrich Mann; Brecht never shows up in those clips, I think. That's awesome.

Ah, thank you for the book rec, that sounds awesome! <3 (I do get books off the list, you can see! Just, somehow really slowly these days -- my brain seems to be wanting a diet of froth.)

still showed he, too, wasn't above trash talking her in his letter to his mother Katia (who of course he knew had hated Nelly)

:(( Of course he's probably talking it up to his mother, but -- :(( All of this is just so sad.
