A few established novelists, like Hans Fallada, whose Wolf Among Wolves (Putnam, $3) was published last month, avoid such mystical propaganda. But Goebbels eggs on young writers (more than 100 new authors have popped up in the last five years), while older ones like Fallada go on writing just as they did before Germany's least talented author became the director of her literary life...
