1933, the crisis.
1934, the after.
And the dozens of artists, writers, musicians, thinkers, and lovers who are caught in the tides of history.
Love in a Time of Hate took me on a nightmare journey from the free-wheeling 1920s and the birth of the modern age to the rise of Nazi Germany and the mass immigration fleeing the country to the sad aftermath for so many: concentration camps, exile, suicide, addiction, homelessness, love found and lost, careers and possessions and financial security lost.
The individual stories are chaotic, presented piecemeal, the book flitting from one couple to another, as episodic as their love affairs. More than their accomplishments, it is their sexual adventures that are the focus–the “passion.” The men insisting on sexual freedom, the fluid sexual identity, the women avoiding motherhood through abortions, the marriages of convenience, the bisexual and homosexual and fear of sex. Who can keep it all straight? Marlene Dietrich’s serpentine and convoluted love life alone makes the mind boggle.
The hate is also in forefront, for it is the impetus for the mass migration of Germans, the fear and the loss.
It’s not an approach for everyone, but the overall impact of the book is a big picture view of this historical period through the lives of the most famous people of the time.
