The German version is better illustrated and can be used around Berlin but obviously there are very many changes.<br /><br />I think Roth saw the writing on the wall quickly and was in Paris by 1923. If anyone is interested in Roth they might well enjoy Clive James's "Cultural Amnesia" which introduces several similar writers from that period like Tucholsky.Lydgatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776027170435878259noreply@blogger.com
