In Confession of a Murderer, the story of Golubtschik, the illegitimate son of a Russian prince and former agent of the Okhrana, the Tsars' secret police, is told over the course of a single night. The audience, patrons of a Russian restaurant in Paris, listen stunned to a confession that is also a fable about Evil and its hypnotic power to trap victims in obsessive, circular narratives.
Moses Joseph Roth was a Austro-Hungarian journalist and novelist, best known for his family saga Radetzky March (1932), about the decline and fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, his novel of Jewish life Job (1930) and his seminal essay "Juden auf Wanderschaft", a fragmented account of the Jewish migrations from eastern to western Europe in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution. In the 21st century, publications in English of Radetzky March and of collections of his journalism from Berlin and Paris created a revival of interest in Roth.
