The Critical Introduction to Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona
Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona (1871–1946) was a prominent, eccentric and influential figure in late Imperial Germany, Expressionism, Dadaism, and the Weimar Republic. He wrote and published works of philosophy, novels, parodies and satirical so-called grotesque tales, which he wrote under the pseudonym “Mynona”—the German word for anonymous, anonym, spelled backwards. Currently being rediscovered in his native language, F/M and his work are still generally unknown, and none of his philosophical texts have been translated. The Critical Introduction to Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona: Twentieth-Century Performance Philosopher is the first comprehensive English book introducing F/M’s philosop...
The Operated Jew and The Operated Goy
Originally published in English in 1991 and now reissued with a new Preface by Jack Zipes, this book presents and examines the work of two little-known writers, Oskar Panizza and Mynona (Salomo Friedlaender). In Panizza’s chilling story, The Operated Jew (1893), a turn-of-the- century Jew undergoes a series of disfiguring operations that transform him into a ‘European’. The tale mingles loathing with compassion for its title character. Thirty years later, Panizza’s tale was answered by Mynona, an urbane German Jew who turned the story’s tables in The Operated Goy (1922). In his introduction and essays, Jack Zipes explores some of the myths of modern anti-Semitic thought. He also examines parallels between the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe and the violence of Arabs and Israelis in the Middle East, issues which have an enduring relevance and are as pertinent in the 21st Century as when the book was first published.

The time is ripe, more than fifty years after the publication of the magnum opus by Perls, Hefferline & Goodman, to publish a book on the topic of cre ativity in Gestalt therapy. The idea for this book was conceived in March 2001, on the island of Sicily, at the very first European Conference of Gestalt Therapy Writers of the European Association [or Gestalt Therapy. Our start ing point was an article on art and creativity in Gestalt therapy, which was presented there by one of the editors, and illuminated by a vision, held by the other editor, of bringing together colleagues from around the world to contribute to a qualified volume on the subject of creativity within the realm of Gestalt th...
Black-White-Red
Mynona's self-styled "grotesques" inhabit an uncertain ground between fairy tale, fetishism and philosophy, satirizing everything from nationalism to philanthropy First published in German in 1916, Black-White-Redcollects six bizarre tales by the "laughing philosopher" Salomo Friedlaender, who wrote his literary work under the pseudonym Mynona (the reversed German word for "anonymous"). In this collection, we encounter a tongue-in-cheek showdown between Goethe and Newton, whose theories of color clash in the form of a nationalistic flag; another story presents the inventor of the tactilestylus setting out to capture the residual sound waves of Goethe speaking in his study through a mechanica...
THE CREATOR
In a multiverse filled with countless worlds and endless possibilities, one truth remains constant—there is a single Creator behind it all. But as civilizations rise and fall, each interprets the Creator’s message in their own way, splintering the truth into countless religions, each a mere fragment of the whole. This is a story of those who dare to seek the greater truth beyond the confines of earthly doctrines and rituals. As ancient forces rise and cosmic battles unfold, they must navigate a world where faith is twisted, and the divine message is lost in translation. In their journey, they will learn to look past the divisions, past the names and symbols, and connect directly to the Source—the true Creator of all things. But will they have the strength to reject the comforts of religion and embrace the infinite unknown? For those brave enough to ask the big questions, this story will challenge your beliefs, ignite your curiosity, and remind you that the truth is far more significant than any religion. The path to the Creator is one only you can walk. Will you take the first step?
The Operated Jew
Pp. 47-86 contain the texts of the two stories: "The Operated Jew", by Oskar Panizza (p. 47-74), and "The Operated Goy", by Mynona (pen name of Salomo Friedlaender). The first (published in 1893) is the story of a Jew who underwent radical surgery in order to become a bona fide German, but was unsuccessful due to a bout of drunkenness at his wedding to a Gentile woman, which caused him to disintegrate and reveal the truth. The second story, written in 1922 as a reaction to the first, narrates the tale of an antisemitic Prussian aristocrat who was enchanted by a Jewess, became a religiously observant Jew, and settled in Palestine. Pp. 87-109, "Oskar Panizza: The Operated German as Operated Je...
The Unruly Bridal Bed and Other Grotesques
Originally published in 1921, The Unruly Bridal Bed brings together ten indefinable tales that include "Tobias and the Prune," "Plant Paternity," "The Dissolute Nose," "Fried Sphinx Meat" and "The Great Gold-Plated Flea." Under his literary pseudonym Mynona (a palindrome for the German "Anonym," or "Anonymous"), Salomo Friedlaender here displays his unique brand of philosophical slapstick that blends fairytale technology with proto-metafiction and at times unsettling meditations on fornicating plants, aristocratic eugenics, spiritual and physical hermaphroditism, and our excremental sun. With its companion volume of grotesques, My Papa and the Maid of Orléans, this collection offers a perfect introduction to the great German humorist's work.
