Description
Joseph Roth's life was marked by turmoil and self-mythologizing. This biography explores his journey from childhood in Brody to a restless life spent roaming Europe between the wars, including spells in Vienna, Paris, and Berlin. Roth's decline mirrored the collapse of civilized Europe, as he opposed Nazism in exile from Germany, lost his wife to schizophrenia, and died an alcoholic on the eve of WWII. Keiron Pim sheds light on Roth's absent father, attitude to Jewishness, and search for home, revealing a powerful portrait of his quest for belonging. Published as Roth's works gain new recognition, Endless Flight delivers a visceral yet sensitive understanding of his brilliance and beauty, offering a riveting account of his chaotic life.
