Brecht on Art and Politics

"A man with one theory is lost. He must have several, four, many! He must stuff them in his pockets like newspapers, always the most recent, you can live well between them, you can dwell easily between the theories."-Bertolt Brecht, 1920 "Brecht manages as a Marxist comedian to combine an extraordinarily sensitive nose for the imperfect, unfinished state of human affairs with the most resolute revolutionary commitment. In an epoch like our own, when these two options have become increasingly polarized and exclusive, Brecht offers a not inconsiderable lesson."-Terry Eagleton "Brecht's thought is present everywhere today without bearing his name and without our being aware of it."-Fredric JamesonBrecht, Bertolt is the author of 'Brecht on Art and Politics', published 2003 under ISBN 9780413758903 and ISBN 0413758907.
