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.

This book of five short essays should only be read (I would suggest) after you have read a few books by Joseph Roth, and are primarily about the novels, rather than Roth’s essays. As well as seeking to place Roth’s varied novels in their time, the essays also explore Roth’s experience as a self exiled Galician Jew and why this was central to his novels.
Although sometimes repetitive in making his points, Marks’ short essays published in 2011 are well written and made me want to read more by Joseph Roth.
Not included in the selected works section at the back of the book is The Hotel Years: Wanderings in Europe between the Wars as it was not published in an English translation until 2015, but I recommend this selection of Roth’s essays. (
