Exhibition
Luggage
This morning I visited the exhibition “Joseph Roth: Exile in Paris, 1933-1939” at the Musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaïsme.
The writer Franz Werfel wrote after Joseph Roth’s death in 1939: “He lived without luggage, he died without luggage.”
For somebody like Joseph Roth who lived most of his life in hotels it's by far a bigger accomplishment to live without luggage than to die without luggage.

About those days in Paris, and for anyone interested in starting with Roth with a quicky, I would really recommand "The Legend of of the Holy Drinker", one of his last work...

Looks like good company when alone with bottle of wine, thank youLuggage
Please forgive,but couldn't the same be said of some poor homeless person in some derelict house anywhere; or on some bench park somewhere?
Not comparing myself in any way whatsoever to dear old Roth, but I cannot remember ever to have had much luggage myself.
Alive or (almost) dead (in hospital) .....
