Abstract
The German writer Oskar Maria Graf, exiled in 1933, published many books abroad which only recently have started to appear in the German press. At his death in New York City in 1967 he left behind a number of hitherto unpublished manuscripts, which include poems, short stories, essays, speeches, travelogs, aphorisms, and fragments of narrative fiction. This discussion is chiefly concerned with Graf 's most significant publications and with the most promising of his unpublished manuscripts; it tries to show him, not — as some critics believed — as a one-sided political writer, nor — as others thought — as a mere writer of regional literature, but as a skilled writer who combined a keen insight into the human soul with an understanding of the major problems facing the modern world.
