Question
This author described their affair with the “Doctoresse” Sophie Ravoux and their friendships with Gide and Céline in their World War II diary, which uses the code-name “Kniébolo” (“k’nee-AY-boh-loh”) for Adolf Hitler. While visiting the apartment of an anorexic Guatemalan painter, this author discusses Dürer with Salvador Reyes in Roberto Bolaño’s By Night in Chile. After being caught visiting the house of a seventeen-year-old orphan girl he dubs “Jeanne d’Arc,” the narrator of a novel by this author is let go by the self-declared “King of Quéant” (“kay-AWN”). Despite their conservatism, this author of (*) Strahlungen depicted Hitler as the uncultured, autocratic Chief Ranger in the novella On the Marble Cliffs. This author, the youngest recipient of the Pour le Mérite (“poor luh may-REET”), continually revised a conspicuously non-pacifist account of their service in the 73rd Hanoverian Regiment during World War I. For 10 points, name this German author of Storm of Steel. ■END■
