The Seven Addictions and Five Professions of Anita Berber is the first contemporary biography of a notorious actor/dancer/poet/playwright who scandalized sexobsessed Weimar Berlin during the 1920s.In an era where everything was permitted, Anita Berbers celebrations of Depravity, Horror and Ecstasy were condemned and censored. She often haunted Weimar Berlins hotel lobbies, nightclubs and casinos, radiantly naked except for an elegant sable wrap, a pet monkey hanging from her neck, and a silver brooch packed with cocaine. Multitalented Anita saw no boundaries between her personal life and her tabooshattering performances. As such, she was Europes first postmodern woman.Among those Anita Berber claimed as members of her vast sexual harem were Marlene Dietrich, Magnus Hirschfeld (the founder of modern sexology and gay liberation), Klaus Mann, Conrad Veidt, Lawrence Durrell, and the King of Yugoslavia. Berber acted in Fritz Langs Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler and starred in the silent epic, Lucifer. Even Leni Riefenstahl credits Berber for inspiring her controversial career. After sated Berliners finally tired of Anita Berbers libidinous antics, she became a carrion soul that even the hyenas ignored, dying in 1928 at the age of 29.The Seven Addictions and Five Professions of Anita Berber chronicles a remarkable career, including over 150 photographs and drawings that recreate Anitas enduring Repertoire of the Damned.

I found the book intriguing, especially the details about Anita's life. However, some parts felt a bit too heavy on the history for my taste. It could use a bit more narrative flow, but overall, it's a solid read. Perfect for those who enjoy biographies with depth.

Not what I expected
I had high hopes for this book, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The writing style is unique but sometimes hard to follow. Plus, some info feels repetitive. I love historical figures, so I'd still recommend it to others, just with a few caveats.
