The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum [1974] is a story of character assassination by the sensationalist media. I have a favourable memory of the novel because I mumbled about it in rubbish German at a university interview in 1978 and they still let me in.
I wonder how Böll would write it today if he knew that the Bildzeitung was going to replace editorial positions with AI? Comments are closed.
