Reading The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum | Alexandria
Read The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum by Heinrich Boll. Exposing how sensationalist media destroys lives, this searing 1974 novel feels prophetic today. Boll's protagonist endures a witch-hunt after a one-night stand, revealing how quick judgments and tabloid cruelty corrupt truth. Most surprisingly? The "villain" isn't the press - it's the passive public enabling them.
