The Grey-Haired Bridegroom and Other Stories

Frank Wedekind was a mystery not only to his contemporaries. Even today, literary scholars try to unravel the phenomenon of this major representative of German Expressionism. The style of his works is characterized by relentless analysis of the human psyche and society, while Wedekind often turns to such taboo topics as sexuality, identity, and social norms. The variety of his works—from well-known plays to less known essays and stories—testifies to a deep critical analysis of the turn-of-the-century era of the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection “The Bald Bridegroom and Other Stories” is a must-listen for anyone interested in the development of modern literature and social trends in early 20th-century Europe.
