    The absence of the supervisorHans Keilson lived for 101 years, from 1909 until 2011 (he died in June). It is probably fair to say that writing fiction was not the most important thing in his life. His collected works in the German pocket book edition include 2 novels, 1 long story and 1 short story. He also published some poems. His main work was done in his professional field of psychotherapy. However, who knows which turn life might have taken under different circumstances. His colleague Alfred Doeblin, also a physician and a writer with the same publishing house (Fischer), gave up medicine for writing.Keilson nearly escaped his earthly life unrecognized as a fiction writer. He was a Jewish German student of medicine when he managed to sell his first novel in the early 1930s. The book came out right in time to be banned by the Nazis. By 1936, Keilson had immigrated to the Netherlands, where he survived the later German occupation and the Holocaust, and then still had a long life ahead of him. His fiction did not remain unpublished, but it remained widely unknown, until a new push to fame came via much praised English translations in the 21st century.His first book was an autobiographic novel: 'Life Goes On', published in 33. As the subtitle (obviously added for later editions) says, it is about the life of a young man during the time `between the wars', i.e. the Weimar years. He grows up in a small business family near Berlin. His parents are much hurt by the 20s inflation and then the global depression. The hero moves to Berlin as a student and has to earn his living, first as a teacher, then as a musician. He tries to stay aloof from the political upheavals of the time, until he makes a dramatic turnaround at the end: he decides to become political, as the only alternative would be resignation. Taking a political position becomes the salvation from existential loneliness. The novel manages to blend out any religious or political positions. Even the side that the hero takes must be assumed from context and is only implicitly specified.This first novel is not particularly remarkable, but solid and interesting.The `Comedy in a Minor Key' of 1947 is, as one might expect, not a funny one. A Dutch couple has been hiding a Jewish refugee for over a year, a stranger. The war is on. In the middle of the nightly bomber flights and the air defense cannon ruckus, the secret lodger dies of natural causes and the body must be disposed of. Our heroes don't do this right, and they have to go into hiding themselves. Published in Germany in 1947, the book seems to have left few ripples before sinking. If someone knows of its reception history, I would be interested.'Death of an Adversary' is a very complex and almost provocative novel. It was started in hiding during WW2, and finished later. It tells us of one man's intellectual and emotional struggles over the fight against the Hitlery. While it uses no names, it is always entirely clear who is who. Hitler is called B throughout, and he is given the first name J. JB. What do we make of this?'Dissonanzen-Quartett' is the short story in this volume. It carries the date 1968. The first person narrator is a cellist who had escaped from the Nazis to the US, but won't make music any more. He becomes a massage therapist. He tells us the story of his parents: a Protestant father, professor for old languages in K nigsberg, and a Jewish mother from a wealthy family. After the N rnberg race laws, the father divorces the mother with the intention to force her to leave home. It fails.Four pieces, all about the same time and the same main subject. One wishes the man had written more.Only 2 of the 4 are available in English. 5
