Berlin: Panoptikum

Robert Neumann (22 May 1897, in Vienna – 3 January 1975, in Munich) was a German- and English-language Austrian Jewish writer. He published numerous novels, autobiographical texts, plays and radio plays as well a few scripts. Through his parody collections, Mit fremden Federn (With Strange Feathers; 1927) and Unter falscher Flagge (Under False Flag; 1932), he is considered as the founder of "parody as a critical genre in the literature of the 1920s."
