Published in 1929, just before the “end of history,” Alfred Döblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz offers what remains a fascinating literary work of life, death, and a mythopoeic human reality. It is a novel for today especially, fully alive for distressing and “unnatural” times.
A post-Jungian reading of Katherine Mansfield’s “The Garden Party” situating psychic and social synthesis in today’s pre-post-Trump cultural universe.
