Wandering Jew: The Search for Joseph Roth

By Dennis Marks

Book Overview

Joseph Roth, best known as the author of the novel The Radetzky March and the nonfiction work The Wandering Jews , was one of the most seductive, disturbing, and enigmatic writers of the twentieth century. Born in 1894 in the Habsburg Empire in what is now Ukraine and dying in Paris in 1939, he was a perpetually displaced person, a traveler, a prophet, a compulsive liar, and a man who covered his tracks. Throughout the eastern borderlands of Europe, Dennis Marks explores the spiritual geography of a still-neglected master and uncovers the truth about Roth's lost world.
