Rebellion

"Rebellion is reminiscent of Chekhov in its uncluttered, melancholy simplicity, while its sense of the larger, crushing incomprehensibility of things echoes Roth's older contemporary, Frank Kafka."—Richard Bernstein, The New York Times

"Roth's fictional world is one of terrifying uncertainty and instability, eerily mirroring his own [life]. His is considered by many to be one of the most important Jewish voices in German literature written between the two wars."—The Forward

"Rebellion puts the last piece of the Roth puzzle in place, leaving readers the gratifying task of exploring the manifold dimensions of this marvelous writer."—The Boston Globe

"Powerful . . . Hofmann's seemingly effortless translation adds greatly to the novel's appeal."—Booklist
