Bertolt Brecht's six short plays do not hide their messages.
I’ve not read much of Bertolt Brecht’s work before, so when the chance came to read a copy of The Jewish Wife, a collection of six of his plays, I grabbed it.
I was not disappointed.
If you are looking for subtlety, Brecht is not your man.
He bludgeons the reader with his indictments of the terror that existed in Nazi Germany and with his broadsides at murderous capitalist overlords and the judges that affirm their actions.
But in many ways that is the man’s appeal.
He saw the world in stark terms and, like abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, refused to back away from his vision.
