Meandering around . . .

Today is the birthday of Alfred Döblin (August 10, 1878 – June 26, 1957), novelist and physician. He is oft referred to as the most talented narrative writer of the German Expressionist movement. Alfred Döblin’s best-known and most Expressionistic novel is Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929).

"But the main things about a man are his eyes and his feet. He should be able to see the world and go after it." - Alfred Döblin

"Much unhappiness comes from walking alone. When there are several, it's somewhat different." - Alfred Döblin
