The Brothel in Rosenstrasse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brothel in Rosenstrasse is a 1982 novel by Michael Moorcock. The main character is Rickhardt von Bek, of the von Bek family central to some of Moorcock's other fantasy novels, notably The War Hound and the World's Pain, The City in the Autumn Stars, and The Dragon in the Sword. The novel is written as Von Bek's memoir of a dying, demented man, in which he recalls his time with a loving whore in an upscale brothel in a German city far from the front lines of 19th-century war. The proper German spelling of the novel's title is "Rosenstraße" (Rose Street).
Moorcock also recorded and released a single called "Brothel in Rosenstrasse". The song was included as a bonus track on the Griffin Records rerelease of the Michael Moorcock and the Deep Fix album, The New Worlds Fair.[1]
