Reviews for Healthy Bastards: A Bloke's Guide to Being Healthy

A political fable, set in Saxony in the early 1930s, whose narrator - identified as the author - describes his grandfather's job explaining silent movies to their audiences at a rundown local theater. But when talkies arrive on the scene, the proud, somewhat vainglorious Karl Hofmann finds the only available outlet for his pedagogical, domineering sensibility in membership in the emergent Nazi party. It's a superb premise, unfortunately developed with only middling success in an oddly muted tale that never fully engages the reader's emotions. (Kirkus Reviews)
