This pioneering study of the life and stories of one of Germany's foremost literary humorists establishes Kurt Kusenberg as an important author in the tradition of the fantastic. Pearson's structural and thematic analyses of the stories follow their trail through the worldviews of surrealism, the fairy tale, and the grotesque, and explore their fantastic elements.
