Hauck, Gerald G. "Reluctant Immigrants: Klaus and Erika Mann in American Exile, 1936-1945," American Studies Program, University of Texas at Austin, August 1997.
Klaus and Erika Mann, the oldest children of the German novelist Thomas Mann, belonged to the most prominent members of the intellectual migration. This study examines their American experiences, combining biography, textual analysis, and reception histories. The Manns were unique among literary émigrés because they became involved in American affairs. They achieved fame and recognition as antifascist activists and cultural mediators who explained European events to Americans. But success did not last and the Manns failed to establish themselves permanently as American writers. While America rejected their European, cosmopolitan values, the Manns developed only a limited understanding of the United States.
