Autorenporträt
Granand (1885-1939), the pen name for theater director and author Erwin Ritter von Busse, who premiered the German-language production of James Joyce's Exiles in Munich in 1919, lost his battle against bigoted censors but won a shining place in literary history with this pathbreaking volume. Forced into exile in Brazil in the 1930s, Granand died with seeing the publication of his small masterpiece.
