Abstract:
Describes the career of the popular author Frank Thiess in Nazi Germany. Although Thiess's attitude to Nazism was ambivalent or even favorable, the authorities at various times restricted the distribution of his books. His main problem, however, was his connection with the Viennese "Jewish" publishing house Paul Zsolnay. Its books were boycotted in Germany even after 1938, when it was supposedly Aryanized, because the Aryanization was fictitious and Zsolnay (in emigration) at first retained control. Traces the ups and downs of the Aryanization in its effect on the sale of Thiess's works, and Thiess's efforts to persuade the authorities in Berlin that the publishing house should now be regarded as Aryan.
