Anyone who has read Hans Fallada's Wolf Among Wolves will have got a great insight into 1920s Germany.
Nor is he kind to the words spoken by the established regular clergy.
But most of all reading Fallada one is put in touch with great writing.
And then to have to see the words of so much terrible writing. The establishment material, the material that comes so glibly off the tongues of the 'permanent civil service' - State and church. Gosh, it is simply terrible.
Fallada wrote what he saw, believed and thought. Church and State spin doctors write what is expected of them.
Anyone who dares try preach the Gospel cannot avoid Fallada.
