Question

Tito’s Political School is nicknamed for one of these places in a novel by Ivana Bodrožić (“bod-ro-jitch”). An author who called himself a “citizen” of these places wrote a 1924 novel about one in Łódź (“wooch”) and 64 pieces of interwar journalism collected in a book titled for their “years.” An aunt invites Christine, a girl who works in a post office, to one of these places in Switzerland in a novel by an author who inspired a film titled for one of these places with his “Mitteleuropa” memoir The World (-5[1])of Yesterday. The scarred veteran Dr. (-5[1])Otternschlag and the ballerina Grusinskaya (-5[1])are among the title “people at” one of these places in a Weimar-era novel by Vicki Baum that (10[1])was adapted (10[1])into a Pre-Code film. In a 1959 novel of “rubble literature,” one of these buildings called the (-5[1])Prince Heinrich (10[2]-5[1])is (10[1])where (10[1])Faehmel (10[1])plays the title (-5[1])Billiards at Half-Past (10[1]-5[1])Nine. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1]-5[1])what kind of building titles a Stefan Zweig-inspired film about the Grand Budapest? ■END■ (10[10])
