Jungle of Cities and Other Plays

Jungle of Cities and Other Plays by Bertolt Brecht. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780394174280.

The three plays gathered in this volume are among Bertolt Brechts most remarkable; the best-known is Jungle of Cities, here translated by the poet Anselm Hollo. Set in Chicago in a climate of rampant capitalism, it is the story of a savage battle waged between two men, whose relationship is at once homosexual and sadomasochistic and whose tightly choreographed hostility is a metaphor for their cultural surround.
