From a combined literary, historical, biographical and sociological perspective, Ena Pedersen analyses Katz's depiction of the Eastern European Jews in Galicia, Weimar Germany and in exile, focusing on the problems of anti-Semitism, assimilation, German-Jewish symbiosis, and Jewish identity in the Diaspora. Narratorial technique and structuring principles of his works are examined carefully as is the development of themes and characters from his early journalism through to his later fiction. The book further contains the first biography of Katz's life, based on interviews with friends and relatives of Katz in Germany, France and the USA, as well as an analysis of his journalistic articles and political engagement with the SPD in the context of the crisis of left-wing journalism towards the end of the Weimar Republic. Through comparisons with contemporary Weimar journalists such as Alfred Polgar and Kurt Tucholsky, as well as Jewish and non-Jewish writers in exile such as Joseph Roth, Martin Beradt, Lion Feuchtwanger and Ernst Glaeser, Katz is placed within the body of Weimar journalism, German exile literature, and Jewish ghetto literature. Through her analysis of his works, Ena Pedersen shows how Katz conforms to the patterns of German-Jewish exile literature yet stands out from his contemporaries through his focus on the Eastern European Jews, describing in a uniquely personal and yet often sarcastic and critical way the particular concerns and dilemmas of this minority within the German-Jewish community at the time. 410 0$aConditio Judaica ;$v33. 606 $aJewish authors, Exiled$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aGerman literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJews$zGermany$xIntellectual life 606 $aJudaism and literature$zGermany 606 $aJewish journalists$vBiography 606 $aJews$zGermany$xIdentity 606 $aJews in literature 615 0$aJewish authors, Exiled 615 0$aGerman literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aJudaism and literature 615 0$aJewish journalists 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJews in literature. 676 $a833/.912 676 $aB 686 $aGM 1451$2rvk 700 $aPedersen$b Ena$01630535 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828629503321 996 $aWriter on the run$93968902 997 $aUNINA
