C’est à Paris, dans un hôtel de la rue de Tournon, que le romancier autrichien Joseph Roth (1894-1939) termina sa vie, en s’adonnant jusqu’au bout à ses deux vices favoris : l’alcool et l’écriture.

Visual Representation in the Work of Joseph Roth, 1923-1932
Thesis submitted to the University of St Andrews for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Through an examination of Joseph Roth’s reportage and fiction published between 1923 and 1932, this thesis seeks to provide a systematic analysis of a particular aspect of the author’s literary style, namely his use of sharply focused visual representations, which are termed Heuristic Visuals . Close textual analysis, supplemented by insights from reader-response theory, psychology, psycholinguistics and sociology illuminate the function of these visual representations.
The thesis also seeks to discover whether there are significant differences and correspondences in the use of visual representations between the reportage and fiction genres.
Roth believed that writers should be engagiert , and that the truth could
only be arrived at through close observation of reality, not subordinated to theory.
Je n’ai pas encore lu le texte entier, mais il est trés prometteur.

Joseph Roth
▻https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Roth
Le 5 mars 1922, Roth avait épousé à Vienne Friederike (Friedl) Reichler. Friedl était certes une femme séduisante et intelligente, mais elle n’était pas une intellectuelle, et la vie mondaine, sans repos, aux côtés d’un journaliste vedette sans cesse en déplacement ne correspondait pas non plus à ses besoins. En outre, Roth faisait preuve d’une jalousie presque pathologique. Déjà en 1926, les premiers symptômes d’une maladie mentale s’étaient manifestés chez Friedl, et en 1928, la maladie devint évidente : la schizophrénie. Friedl fut d’abord traitée à la clinique psychiatrique Westend, puis elle habita un temps chez un ami de Roth – soignée par une infirmière. La maladie de son épouse précipita Roth dans une crise profonde. Il n’était pas prêt à accepter l’incurabilité de la maladie, espérait un miracle, se rendait coupable de la maladie – la démence était considérée, et est considérée, chez les Juifs pieux comme une punition divine. L’éventualité d’une possession par un dibbuk le poussa à consulter (sans succès) un rabbin miraculeux hassidique. À cette époque, il se mit sérieusement à boire. Sa situation financière elle-même empira.
Même le placement chez les parents de Friedl n’apporta pas la moindre amélioration, et la malade tomba dans une apathie qui s’accroissait ; on l’amena alors en novembre 1930 au sanatorium Rekawinkel à côté de Vienne ; en décembre 1933, elle vint à l’asile de soins de santé du Land « Am Steinhof » à côté de Vienne ; enfin à l’été 1935 dans la clinique du Land Mostviertel Amstetten-Mauer. Les parents de Friedl émigrèrent en 1935 en Palestine et Roth demanda la séparation. En 1940, Friedl Roth fut expédiée en direction de Linz ; il n’y a aucun document attestant de son arrivée là-bas. Elle fut une des victimes du programme d’euthanasie des Nazis (action T4). Son acte de décès porte la date du 15 juillet 1940.

Emperor of Nostalgia
“Austro-Hungary is no more,” wrote Sigmund Freud to himself on Armistice Day, 1918. “I do not want to live anywhere else…. I shall live on with the torso and imagine that it is the whole.” Freud spoke for many Jews of Austro-German culture. The dismemberment of the old empire, and the redrawing of the map of Eastern Europe to create new homelands based on ethnicity, worked to the detriment of Jews most of all, since there was no territory they could point to as ancestrally their own. The old supranational imperial state had suited them; the postwar settlement was a calamity. The first years of the new, stripped-down, barely viable Austrian state, with food shortages followed by levels of inflation that wiped out the savings of the middle class and violence on the streets between paramilitary forces of left and right, only intensified their unease. Some began to look to Palestine as a national home; others turned to the supranational creed of communism.
Nostalgia for a lost past and anxiety about a homeless future are at the heart of the mature work of the Austrian novelist Joseph Roth. “My most unforgettable experience was the war and the end of my fatherland, the only one that I have ever had: the Austro-Hungarian monarchy,” he wrote in 1932. “I loved this fatherland,” he continued in a foreword to The Radetzky March. “It permitted me to be a patriot and a citizen of the world at the same time, among all the Austrian peoples also a German. I loved the virtues and merits of this fatherland, and today, when it is dead and gone, I even love its flaws and weaknesses.” The Radetzky March is the great poem of elegy to Habsburg Austria, composed by a subject from an outlying imperial territory; a great German novel by a writer with barely a toehold in the German community of letters.
