After a good (omen) time last episode, this week we venture to a darker side by delving into World War II, exploring all things in bombings, mutti's in suitcases, and marital affairs. First up is "The Aftermath" by Rhidian Brook, which explores the British occupation of Hamburg--which was nearly razed to the ground in one weekend of bombings--directly after the end of WWII.
If the title sounds a little familiar, you may be thinking of the 2019 movie by the same name which of course, we watched to review and contrast. In both cases, we sort of wished the Tom Collins cocktail we drank along with it had been a double. Or a triple.
Rounding out the episode is a nonfiction collection of essays and lectures by WG Sebald entitled, "On The Natural History of Destruction". This was paired with a nice German Reisling, but unfortunately, nothing can soften the blow of the true horror stories from this war.
With all these cheerful stories in mind, the team here at Lit & Liquor wishes you all a very happy Thanksgiving!
