What's So Funny? : Sketches from My Life (Choreography and Dance Studies Series)

Illustrated by Lotte Goslar herself, this extraordinary book provides, through her vivid sketch-like texts, a moving and humorous account of her life during a traumatic period in world history. Her acute observations of daily human foibles and vanities are interspersed with her interactions with major figures (Palucca, Voskovec and Werich, Brecht, Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester, Hans Sahl, and Marilyn Monroe), revealing to the reader the world of a great artist in movement and mime. What's So Funny? includes texts by Horst Koegler, Voskovec and Werich, Joel Schechter, and Bertolt Brecht.
