HE LIVES HIS THRILLERS
WRITES A BEST SELLER IH FOURTEEN DAYS Meet Louis de Wohl—Germany’s outsize thriller writer until a few months ago. The thrills Mr dc Wohl writes about are outsize—sales were outsize—and he himself is no pocket edition. He stands 6ft Sin or 4in. ‘His books were Germany’s best sellers until suddenly a terrible suspicion arose that his maternal grandmother’s greatgrandmother had had a drop of nonAryan blood in her reputedly pure Aryan veins. So Mr de Wohl’s books were banned, and he went to England to start all over again. Before Mr de Wohl writes a book—he can complete one in 14 days—he lives it. And ipso facto, since he has 33 books to his credit it follows that he has “ lived ” 33 lives.
