Hans Magnus Enzensberger was already well known in the 1960s, the tempestuous decade of which “Tumult” is an autobiographical record. Derived from old papers, notes, jottings, photos and letters that the poet stumbled upon years later in his attic, the volume is not so much about the man but, rather, the many places he visited and people whom he met on his travels through the Soviet Union and Cuba. The book is a lively and deftly written travelogue offering a glimpse into the history of leftist thought.
