Weimar Triangle : Frankfurt 1927

Koch uses a multi-format narrative technique so highly praised in the German reviews, including stories, excerpts from imagined invented diaries, letters and even a synopsis of a never-produced operetta about the failed Hitler putsch of 1923. The triangle involves three main characters: Hanni Geisel, amateur musician and hostess, Erwin Herzberg, journalist and film historian and Hanni's husband, Hermann, a pacifist lawyer who, in his spare time, gathered data on the miscarriages of justice committed by judges. It turns out that Hanni had an affair with Erwin Herzberg.
