Joseph Roth has new fan in Neil Tennant. . . ?

We were delighted to see that Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys has revealed a recent reading of Joseph Roth's The Hundred Days – see here. One of the Peter Owen crew used to work for Helter Skelter when it had a bookshop in Soho and can attest to Mr Tennant's fine taste in music books – it's pleasing to think he might be a Roth fan too. . . !
