  • Male murderers in Joseph Roth's Tarabas and Beichte eines Mörders
    Lughofer, Johann Georg
    This article provides a close reading of two novels by the writer and journalist Joseph Roth (1894-1939). While he is usually associated with misogynistic tendencies, it will be shown that a focus of ... gendered violence reveals Roth's aversion against institutionalised brutality. This becomes obvious on the one hand within the context of war and soldiers, an on the other, in view of police bodies in general and spies in particular. At the core of their unrepentant use of force is it will be argued, a misguided male agency.
