Vogel, Bruno


Bruno Vogel (1898-1987) was a writer, pacifist, and dedicated homosexual activist, publishing mostly in the late 1920s. His works engage with themes of antimilitarism and anti-imperialism and thematize the direct interconnectedness of private and public life. His most well-known novel, Alf (1929), was explicitly political and civically didactic and is widely understood to be a classic of homosexual emancipation literature and one of the first openly positive representations of gay love in German literature.
