BRECHT IN AMERICA

PORTRAIT OF BRECHT BY A.K SHIVADAS (BLESSING O PHLEGM)

Brother told Brecht, or Bertolt Brecht, also Sahodaran Ayyappan, according to some accounts was best critically judged by (except for his own work on himself and theatre as Eric Bentley and by many others including Walter Benjamin) the somewhat voluminous FBI document on him after he was caught and sentenced for Un-American activities which was also mainly his own creation. Although they wanted to deport him to East Germany,
Brecht soon escaped from there , where he soon came under the control of the Communist Party, and in spite of his canonical status there found it a little difficult to fully immerse in the faith there, and its totalizing attempts, which were detrimental to his freedom as an artist, though he was also involved in some theatre projects for the state, with pedagogic intentions.  He was more involved in the activities at hollyiwood by now and had a major role in the Prague spring. This led to his ouster from the party then and led to conflicts with Lenin who deported him to America (to capture Hollywood for him, maybe). In hollywood, he was also with Charles Laughton himself( one of three impersonators), Warner Bros , Metro Goldwyn Mayor( was mayor of NewYork city once), and a bit Genet and a great friend of Jean Genet (who was also with Picasso, Foucault (Pookkoya Thangal, ) and Max Beckmann .. 
He was also with Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, and Sun Ra and also a cartoonist giving birth to Tom and Jerry and the like (Louis). His own movie based on the Mahoganny Novel was exhibited in Kerala once, at his behest.
