Grosz's account of a world gone mad is as acute and provocative as the art that depicts it, and this translation of a work long out of print restores the spontaneity, humor, and energy of the author's German text. It also includes a chapter on Grosz's experience in the Soviet Union-omitted from the original English-language edition-as well as more writings about his twenty-year self-imposed exile in America, and a fable written in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge Grosz\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1893 in Berlin and, after twenty years in the U.S., he died in 1959.
