Published in Germany in 1920, Sammy Gronemann's satirical novel set
in 1903 at the time of the Sixth Zionist Congress follows the life
of a baptized Jew, Heinz Lehnsen, as he negotiates legal
entanglements, German culture, religious differences, and Zionist
aspirations. A chance encounter with a long-lost cousin from a
shtetl in Russia further complicates the plot and challenges the
characters' notions of Jewish identity and their belief in the
claims of the Zionist movement. Gronemann's humor and compassion
slyly expose the foibles and contradictions of human behavior. With
deep insight into German society, German-Jewish culture, and
antisemitism, Utter Chaos paints a highly entertaining portrait of
German Jews at the beginning of the twentieth century.
