Hejduk Berlin Night Character: Park Attendent male

"He records the habits of the black panther and reads the books of Charles Brockden Brown, 1771-1810, US novelist. The american panther is more vicious than the brazillian, it tracks night and day and licks the blood off the snow. "


Research:
- Charles Brockden Brown = American fictional author "the father of the american novel"

"Born to intellectual Quaker parents in 1771 and trained as a lawyer, Brown was one of the most important literary innovators of his age. His mind was molded in that last moment of the late Enlightenment when the desire to master the arts and the natural sciences was one, and knowledge was freely disseminated. Not only was Brown the most ambitious American fiction writer of his day, but he was also a probing literary theorist and a keen political thinker whose interests ranged from Cicero to Rousseau and from women’s rights to U.S. foreign policy." http://www.brockdenbrownsociety.ucf.edu/brown/default.htm
