The Empire of Joseph Roth. 1. STRANGELY, WHILE I have been writing about Joseph Roth, the wheel of Karma-or historical consequence?-has brought Roth’s territory back to a reenactment of the situation central to his work. Now restlessness and rebellion, this time against the socialism that has not proved to be liberation, brings once again the breakup of a hegemony. Passages in Roth’s work, about the Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs, could with scarcely a change describe what has happened in Yugoslavia in 1991.

Rebellion was one of J.Roth's early novels, coming out in 1924, and yet, he had found his voice already! These are the same brilliant short sentences that I find so intriguing in his late masterpieces like the Holy Drinker or False Weight. Of course, with the man dying young, the time span between `early' and `late' is a bare 15 years.
Roth often wrote about people, who were down on their luck, but amazingly, he did not sink in misery, his writing is full of funny and ironic poetry.

Rebellion is about Andreas, a Lumpenprolet, Viennese WW1 veteran and invalid, crippled by a leg amputation. His first stroke of good luck is that the government allows him to play the barrel organ in the streets, to have him off welfare. Sort of legalized begging, turning entrepreneurial. What about investing, say a donkey and a stable?
Second, and even luckier: an attractive proletarian widow takes to him and takes him in. He is riding high on his wave. Think of the hero of the Bonfire of Vanities before he takes the wrong turn on the streets of New York and ends up in deep trouble. Andreas takes his wrong turn when he climbs a tram car at the wrong time at the wrong place and has a disagreement with the wrong antagonist. Things go out of control from here.

While I read Andreas' story, I could not stop thinking of Franz Biberkopf, Doeblin's one-armed sub-hero in Berlin Alexanderplatz. Doeblin, when he wanted, could write the same language as Roth. Roth did not include tram schedules, or radio announcements, or political analyses of the Spartakus rebellion. That's why Rebellion is a skinny brother of Alex, but a brother all the same. Or let's settle for a literary ancestor. We do learn about the secret connections between patriotism and public toilets, after all!

One of the puzzles surrounding Roth is the perception of most commentators that he was nostalgic for monarchy. What utter nonsense. Lamenting the terrible development of Germany/Austria after WW1 does not amount to being a monarchist!

Rebellion, by Joseph Roth, reminds me a bit of the aftermath of the Vietnam war.
What do we do with disabled veterans? Does a combat veteran's service entitle him to health care for his wounds and occupational training to secure him a civilian job? Are veterans entitled to the respect of the citizens and officials of the country they served? Many Vietnam veterans claim their service was not honored in the USA. Set in Austria at the end of World War I, "Rebellion", a novel by Joseph Roth, dramatizes the question of the handling of veterans of any war.

In "Rebellion", Andreas Pum, an Austrian World War I disabled veteran expected that the Austrian nation would secure his daily needs. Many of his fellow veterans were placed in the hospital, while some were sent away with nothing. Authorities gave Andreas a medal and pensioned him to a job playing a crank model barrel organ, which he calls a "hurdy-gurdy". Andreas lost a leg in the war, but despite his disability he gets a permit to seek alms by playing his barrel organ in streets of the city. He is a happy and hopeful man, who still believes in his country, his government, and his God. .

Rebellion is a classic allegorical novel, that many claim is based upon the Bible's book of Job. There are many similarities between the stories of Job and Andreas. Comparing the two in detail could spoil the book for some people. Instead, I will focus upon general themes.

There are two themes in Rebellion worth noting. First this is a novel about social justice and politics. What rights does a citizen have? Are the rights different by economic class, gender, and ethnic background? Does God or government grant and enforce those rights? Are the police and courts a tool of influential citizens? Are the police and courts required to balance matters of law with ethics?

The next theme of the story is about theology. Is God powerful, good and just? Why do bad things happen to good people? Does God care for us and His creation? Does God intervene in matters of dispute among His creatures?

Joseph Roth is a superior author. Much of his writing is beautiful and poetic. His themes demand thoughtful consideration. Roth's descriptions are wonderful, precise, and detailed. In one special scene that involves several characters, Roth allows us to witness their inner thoughts and motives. By the end of the scene the reader knows, with confidence, the exact motivation of each character's actions. The book is like a mini course in psychology.

I highly recommend "Rebellion". This novel teaches lessons that are still applicable today.
