Der Traum des Jakob Hersch: Roman

Richler vividly captures the city’s atmosphere—does it feel like a character itself? I wonder how much of the setting influences the characters' choices.

The narrative feels deeply reflective and layered with past and present. I'm curious what motivated Richler to focus on these themes and how they relate to his own experiences.

His actions are sometimes difficult to justify, yet he's so human. Did this make anyone else question their own judgments about morality in complex situations?
