The works in this collection include brand new translations of a novella about the final days of Ludwig II (Bavaria's Mad King Ludwig) and an essay challenging the homophobic maneuvers of certain enemies of German fascism. In addition, \u003ci\u003eSelected Short Works by Klaus Mann\u003c\/i\u003e includes a drama and three short stories written in English, all but one of which are appearing for the first time in print. One of the pieces in this volume, Speed, a Story, was considered by Christopher Isherwood to be Klaus Mann's best writing. Taken as a whole, this collection suggests Klaus Mann should, at a minimum, be considered a German-American author.
