On the surface it is a comically entertaining tale of a young
writer - a Galician Jew who has lived in Palestine, returns to
Europe on the eve of World War I, and is now stranded in Berlin -
who wanders from rented room to rented room in a city with a severe
wartime housing shortage. On a deeper level it is a profound
commentary on exile, Zionism, divine providence, human egoism, and
other typically Agnonian concerns. This is a truly satisfying novel
to complete the Agnon canon.
