SUMMARY:Faculty Diversity Book Club: The Director
DESCRIPTION:via MS TEAMS\n\nThe Director\nby Daniel Kehlmann  (Author)\,    
  Ross Benjamin  (Translator)  \n\nAn artist’s life\, a pact with the 
 devil\, and the dangerous illusions of the silver screen.\n\nG.W. Pabst\, 
 one of cinema’s greatest directors of the 20th century\, was filming in 
 France when the Nazis seized power. To escape the horrors of the new and 
 unrecognizable Germany\, he fled to Hollywood. But now\, under the blinding 
 California sun\, the world-famous director suddenly looks like a nobody. 
 Not even Greta Garbo\, the Hollywood actress whom he made famous\, can help 
 him.\n\nWhen he receives word that his elderly mother is ill\, he finds 
 himself back in his homeland of Austria\, which is now called Ostmark. 
 Pabst\, his wife\, and his young son are suddenly confronted with the 
 barbaric nature of the regime. So\, when Joseph Goebbels—the minister of 
 propaganda in Berlin—sees the potential for using the European film icon 
 for his directorial genius and makes big promises to Pabst and his family\, 
 Pabst must consider Goebbels’s thinly veiled order. While Pabst still 
 believes that he will be able to resist these advances\, that he will not 
 submit to any dictatorship other than art\, he has already taken the first 
 steps into a hopeless entanglement.\n\nKehlmann’s latest oeuvre explores 
 the complicated relationships and distinctions between art and power\, 
 beauty and barbarism\, cog and conspirator.\n\n \n\nBooks will be provided 
 upon request from the CTL. Email to schedule a time to pick up a copy at 
 the CTL office or contact Jennifer Maney with any questions.
