About this ebook
Born in Berlin in November 1940, Elias Deane Grimm Lohr, who has gone by Grimm Lohr since he was a child, narrates the fascinating events of his life and his family against the backdrop of the twentieth century, offering as honest a replication of the facts as he can. Grimm begins by recounting his German-British grandfather’s service as a physician in Germany during the First World War, and then the life of his own father, the assistant to the official translator of the German government during the Third Reich who disappeared with the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad. After spending time in the South Pacific where his American grandfather served as a diplomat during the Second World War, Grimm and his family move to Normal, Illinois, where he matures, studies theater at Northwestern University, and eventually moves to Los Angeles to seek employment in the film and televison industries. As he pursues a career as a screenwriter and actor during the 1970s and 1980s, he encounters, among others, a boisterous producer, a counterculture director, a cannibalistic stalker, and the love of his life—a famous actress who holds a dark secret. Finally tiring of the Hollywood scene, he decides to try to patent and manufacture a device based in part on the work of his grandfather, a device also coveted by one of the world’s richest men, and the ensuing conflict leads Grimm to a remote and mysterious archipelago in the middle of the Indian Ocean called Morro Burra. The Revelations of Grimm Lohr is a satirical and outrageous novel that explores the events of the twentieth century as told through three generations of a German-American family.
