Kurt Tucholsky belongs to the record of literature as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Kurt Tucholsky as Jewish-German journalist, satirist and writer (1890–1935).
Kurt Tucholsky was born at Berlin in 1890. His recorded nationality is Germany. He was educated at University of Geneva and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
The record gives his occupations as journalist, poet lawyer and satirist.
His affiliations include Die Weltbühne and Vossische Zeitung.
His principal work is Castle Gripsholm. Books outlive their reviews, and the ones that last are seldom the ones that sold.
That the work was done from Germany matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Kurt Tucholsky died in 1935 at the age of 45. The work outlived the arguments around it.
