REPRESENTATIONS OF HEIMAT(LOSIGKEIT) IN EXILE IN JOSEPH ROTH’S THE LEGEND OF THE HOLY DRINKER AND OTHER STORIES

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to illustrate the various interwoven representations of Heimatlosigkeit in some of Joseph Roth’s most important short stories. Roth’s entire work has been influenced by his struggling life as an Austrian-Jewish writer and his self-imposed exile to different parts of Europe in search of a place he could call home. For Joseph Roth, writing is like a therapy against the nostalgia for his homeland. That is why most of his works show autobiographical traits.
