When World War I breaks out, a young architecture student in Munich does everything in his power to avoid being enlisted into the German military in this perceptive, wickedly humorous novel by a prominent twentieth-century writer, journalist, and film critic.
Siegfried Kracauers Ginster is the great World War I novel youve never heard ofHere, the sheer horrors are kept offstage, as in Greek tragedy, and merely reported from time to time. The setting is the German home front. Its Chaplinesque antiheroGinsterspends the war gumming up the German war machine as he maneuvers to stay out of its clutches and save his own skin.
Which he does; however, there is a deeper struggle going on between Ginsters dreamy self-absorption and the pitiless organization of society, war or no warGinster has no wish to do anything. Alas, his reveries are forever being interrupted by the demands of an other-minded world.
All the scenes of Ginster are well to the rear of the military action, yet with Kracauer narrating, military language saturates all aspects of civilian life in the homelandGinsters nearest and dearest are so gung-ho, he feels that hes at the front when he visits them.
War, the author seems to say, is merely ordinary life seen from the back instead of the front. As a new European war darkens our horizon, one no more expected than was World War I, Kracauers novel feels timelier than ever.
