While David was at NYU, he once showed up for work at the Fales Library on a Saturday morning in sweat pants and a t-shirt, only to be mortified when actress Paulette Goddard showed up, asking to see part of her late-husband's literary collection that she had donated to the school. No, it wasn't Burgess Meredith or Charlie Chaplin (both of which were her ex-husbands), rather it was this guy whose works include The Dream Room and Three Comrades. Name this writer whose most famous work Im Westen nichts Neues is usually translated as All Quiet on the Western Front.
Erich Maria Remarque
