 babydoe.org - Comments about Carl Zuckmayer's The Life of Horace A.W. Tabor (Das Leben des H.A.W. Tabor)
Both Zuckmayer's choice of subject matter - usually decried as a Western or gold-digger story-and the artistic means chosen to present this subject-essentially realism-these critics argued, lacked modern appeal and were an insufficient attempt at historical analysis.
In fact, one critic went so far as to charge that Zuckmayer had dramatized material that was also used by Hollywood for "the creation of the American myth." To be sure, Zuckmayer delights in the creation of a milieu that is populated by colorful characters whose very names hint at the unusual.
Zuckmayer's drama lacks Raimund's didactic application; however, like Raimund Zuckmayer is primarily interested in the "purely human" devoid of its social and political implications.

Zuckmayer's report – part essay, part feature article – deals with attitudes in post-war Germany and is a captivating read.
Carl Zuckmayer was particularly interested in three groups: The disillusioned youths who had been taken directly from the lecture theatre or school classroom and pressed into military service, students who still subscribed to the Nazi ideology, and finally secondary school pupils who couldn't hear enough about the USA.
This in particular strengthened Zuckmayer's conviction that it was an injustice to young Germans to casually dismiss them as one of the "lost generations".

 Carl Zuckmayer Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Until 1966, when his autobiography Als wär's ein Stück von mir: Horen der Freundschaft (translated as A Part of Myself, 1970) appeared, Carl Zuckmayer was known mainly as the author of highly successful plays.
He had been one of the most popular playwrights of the Weimar Republic and, next to Bertolt Brecht, he was the most widely performed dramatist in West Germany after World War II.
Der Hauptmann von Köpenick: Ein deutsches Märchen in drei Akten (1930; translated as The Captain of Köpenick, 1932), an excellent example of neorealism in drama and probably Zuckmayer's best play, was a sharp attack on Prussian militarism which was to brand the author as an irreconcilable enemy of National Socialism.
