Originally published in 1939, the year Roth died, this is a secular miracle-tale in which the vagrant Andreas, after living under bridges, has a series of lucky breaks that lift him briefly onto a different plane of existence. Despite its melancholic subject matter, this novel is extraordinarily compressed, dry-eyed and witty.
