Who was born later, Hans Fallada or James Ellroy?
Hans Fallada Hans Fallada (born Rudolf Wilhelm Friedrich Ditzen; 21 July 18935 February 1947) was a German writer of the first half of the 20th century. Some of his better known novels include "Little Man, What Now?" (1932) and "Every Man Dies Alone" (1947). His works belong predominantly to the New Objectivity literary style, with precise details and journalistic veneration of the facts. Fallada's pseudonym derives from a combination of characters found in the Grimm's Fairy Tales: the protagonist of "Hans in Luck" (KHM 83) and a horse named Falada in "The Goose Girl".
