About The Book

The three plays gathered in this volume are among Bertolt Brecht’s most remarkable; the best-known is Jungle of Cities, here translated by poet Anselm Hollo. Set in Chicagoy> 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.
