Harry Rowohlt wrote to his "little brother" and to his friends, to the authors he translated, and to his publishers. He wrote to booksellers and journalists, he responded to letter writers and petitioners. He wrote tenderly and delightedly or angrily and (rarely) unyieldingly. Whether it was Heinrich Maria Ledig-Rowohlt or Siegfried Unseld, whether it was Roger Boylan, Frank McCourt, or the anonymous Lindenstrasse fan - each received a completely unique response.
