Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The three plays gathered in this volume are among Bertolt Brecht's most remarkable; the best-known is Jungle of Cities, here translated by the poet Anselm Hollo. Set in Chicago in a climate of rampant capitalism, it is the story of a savage battle waged between two men, whose relationship is at once homosexual and sadomasochistic and whose tightly choreographed hostility is a metaphor for their cultural surround.

Inside This Book (learn more)

First Sentence:
According to Bertolt Brecht himself, Jungle of Cities was to be the round-by-round account of a savage, gratuitous, "unmotivated" fight to the death between two men in that colorful "gigantic city Chicago" the young playwright had created for himself, out of material found in popular "gangster" novels of the period.
