Me?

Peter Flamm is the creative pseudonym of psychiatrist and writer Erich Mosse, who fled Nazi Germany to the United States in 1933. He became famous for his novel “Me?” published in 1926, which was forgotten amid the upheavals of the... 20th century, but almost a hundred years later became an astonishing literary discovery as a newly rediscovered classic of the expressionist genre. A military doctor returns from World War I to his wife, mother, and newborn son. He longs for peace and family comfort, but the traumas of war have fractured his soul and mind. He does not know exactly who he is, Dr. Hans Stern or baker Wilhelm Bettuch, reality plays cruel jokes on him and eludes control. Good and evil, war and peace, love and hate—the most trivial, seemingly, antitheses of humanity, concentrated in one consciousness, explode under Flamm's virtuoso pen into a supernova of incredible colors, images, and emotions.
