The mystery at the heart of Jürgen Fauth’s debut novel Kino extends from the smoke-filled cabarets of Weimar Berlin and the era’s legendary silent films to a Brooklyn apartment of two newlyweds and a decrepit drug-filled house in the Hollywood Hills. The transatlantic story comes from a German-born American writer who tells Readux about the cinematic and literary sources he used to recreate his main character’s past, whether the book is German and/or American, and of the antagonistic role Fritz Lang plays in the book.
