Arts Interview with Peter Wortsman: The German Imagination of Fear

“There is a difference between blood and guts, as celebrated in the current vogue of horror-slasher flicks, and the capacity of the darkest of the Grimms’ tales to pierce the thin skin of civility and mainline the dark caverns of the collective unconscious.”

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Books, Featured Tagged: Ghost Dance in Berlin: A Rhapsody in Gray, Peter Wortsman, Tales of the German Imagination from the Brothers Grimm to Ingeborg Bachmann, The Selected Tales of the Brothers Grimm

By: Tess Lewis Filed Under: Books, Featured, World Books Tagged: Gabriel Levin, German literature, Ghost Dance in Berlin: A Rhapsody in Gray, Middle-East, Peter Wortsman, The Dune's Twisted Edge: Journeys in the Levant, Travelers' Tales
