Erika and Klaus Mann: Living with America provides new insights into the lives of Thomas Mann's two eldest children, by focusing on their years in America. It begins with Erika and Klaus Mann's self-promotional tour of the United States in 1927-1928, and follows up with their return in 1936 as voluntary exiles determined to fight the spread of Nazism in Europe. As children of privilege and considerable personal charm, Erika and Klaus Mann quickly became highly visible representatives of the German exile community. In examining their lives in America, the United States plays a central role. Just as the Manns' views of America evolved between 1936 and 1952, so did American public opinion and government policy. This study examines Erika and Klaus Mann's public and private statements, while also examining statements made about them by American journalists, politicians, book critics, and F.B.I. and immigration officers. It follows the Mann siblings' rise in America as celebrity representatives of an "other," better Germany, and the forces that began to rally against them even before the outbreak of the war. It shows the many concrete actions the Mann siblings took to persuade Americans to view their country as one linked to European interests, and it describes their various war activities, with Erika becoming a U.S. war correspondent and Klaus an American soldier. Finally, it portrays their fears for America as the war drew to a close, America deployed the atom bomb, and the nation quickly transformed itself from Russian ally to Cold War combatant.

This study of contemporary Irish expatriate fiction offers a boldly original world-facing rather than nation-focused overview of the contemporary Irish novel. Chapters examine how Irish narrative deals with the United States in a time of declining global hegemony, a rising China and Asia, a thwarted and turbulent Global South, and a European Union that has decisively reshaped Ireland in the last half century. The author argues that in a late capitalist world defined by volatile economic and cultural globalizations, the Irish novel is struggling to imagine new ways to narrate the country's relationship to the world capitalist system and to find new place for Irish writing in the world literary system. Looking at a rapidly-changing Ireland in a rapidly-changing international order, Joe Cleary offers new readings of novels by Colm Tóibín, Anne Enright, Joseph O'Neill, Deirdre Madden, Mary Costello, Naoise Dolan, Aidan Higgins, Colum McCann, Ronan Sheehan and Ronan Bennett.

"Zwischen 1933 und 1945 kam es in Deutschland und Österreich zu einem geschichtlich einmaligen Exodus von Künstlern. Für viele Maler, Sänger und Schriftsteller war Belgien eine wichtige Station auf ihrer Flucht vor den Nationalsozialisten. Warum mussten sie aus Deutschland und Österreich fliehen? Wie gestaltete sich ihre Flucht? Wie verhielt sich das Gastland gegenüber den nach Arbeit und Freiheit Suchenden? Wie versuchten diese, Arbeit zu finden und ihr künstlerisches Schaffen fortzusetzen? Diesen auch heute in Europa so aktuellen Fragen geht der Autor am Beispiel von Belgien nach, unserem 'kleinen Nachbarn', der in der Exilforschung bislang völlig außer Acht gelassen wurde. Anhand einer Vielzahl von bisher unveröffentlichten Briefen, Tagebüchern und Fotos zeichnet das Buch die Lebensläufe von Künstlern unterschiedlichster Couleur nach diejenigen der Schriftsteller Thomas Mann, Klaus Mann, Stefan Zweig, Joseph Roth, Egon Erwin Kisch, Irmgard Keun und Jean Améry, der Sänger und Schauspieler Joseph Schmidt und Ernst Busch, der Maler Felix Nussbaum, Leo Breuer und Karl Schwesig um nur die wichtigsten zu nennen"--Publisher's website.
