  des Großstadtlebens (Berliner Dialekt, Slogan, Lied, Jazzmusik usw.) in Berlin Alexanderplatz zu einem universalen Mosaik. Dennoch bleibt die Mehrsprachigkeit dieses negativen Entwicklungsromans allein auf seinen Protagonisten Franz Biberkopf bezogen: Sie weitet sich nicht (wie etwa inManhattan Transfer von John Dos Passos) zur polyphonen Symphonie. Zu sehr ist Döblins Projekt auch sozialkritisch motiviert, um derart konsequent ästhetisch zu sein. In diesem Sinn gibt der Autor seinem geläute...

The title ( 'The Tailor Re- Tailored' ) refers to Teufelsdrockh's supposed 'Philosophy of Clothes' , in which clothes become the metaphor for the material world which simultaneously expresses and conceals the transcendental world within.
