'I am wildly in love with someone, but I'll say no more about it. That way it could always be .. you.' Set around the Caf� des Westens, the epicenter of early twentieth century Expressionist Berlin, Else Lasker-Sch�ler chronicles the demise of her marriage in a series of letters to her husband Herwarth Walden, publisher of the avant-garde journal Der Sturm. Assuming the guise of alter egos such as Tino of Baghad or the Prince of Thebes, she weaves a web of Oriental fantasies to inform her husband of her infidelities. In so doing, she transforms a personal crisis into a metaphor for the end of an era. Starring a host of leading artists, including Karl Kraus, Alfred D�blin, Oskar Kokoschka, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Emil Nolde and Arnold Sch�nberg, My Heart offers an unforgettable insider's glimpse into one of Berlin's most artistically vibrant and fascinating periods. This translation by Sheldon Gilman and Robert Levine - the first English-language edition to appear to date - features an introduction by Professor Jakob Hessing of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a glossary of relevant names and places.
