14. About the title ... ** SPOILERS **

"Blue Angel" is the title of several works that are relevant here:

1. the 1930 movie adapted from Heinrich Mann's 1905 novel Professor Unrat


2. the 1959 remake (ugh!)


3. the book by Francine Prose published in 2000, and

4. a book written by the Professor Unrat character in Francine Prose's book.

The Professor Unrat character in #3 borrows #1 from a store and discusses it with the Lola Lola character, who eventually ruins him (no big surprise to anyone who has seen the movie).
