	As discussed above, an awareness that a sense of place, the tension between one’s origin and destination, runs throughout Agnon’s writing. It is present both when individual characters are depicted, as well as when his stories speak about the national condition of the Jewish people. This understanding is essential in approaching Agnon’s late masterpiece ''A City in Its Fullness'', a collection that spans 300 years of the fictionalized and mythologized history of his Galician hometown.~~[[Image:7.1-Agnon-11]]~~<ref>Avidov Lipsker, “The Heavenly City: A Historiographic Paradigm in the Scholastic Cartography of S.Y.

	''A City in Its Fullness'' bears witness to how Agnon carried his hometown and its stories with him throughout his life, and the degree to which he saw himself as the literary chronicler of Buchach. In 1956, when his published output had slackened, he answered Israeli literary critic '''Baruch Kurzweil'''’s inquiry as to where he was focusing his energy: “I am building a city—Buchach!” The literature scholar '''Alan Mintz''' observed that this statement was the “proprietary stamp of a veteran writer who writes using an established repertoire of modernist techniques. Reimagining Buchach through the filter of this imagination that abandons nothing from the toolkit of modernism, must of necessity mean creating something new, a new city. The bricks and mortar may be taken from the historical record, but the building will be a new creation. No other writer in modern Jewish culture has attempted a project of similar scope or ambition.”<ref>Alan Mintz, ''Ancestral Tales: Reading the Buczacz Stories of S.Y.

	“As a result of the historic catastrophe in which Titus of Rome destroyed Jerusalem and Israel was exiled from its land, I was born in one of the cities of the Exile,” proclaimed Shmuel Yosef Agnon in Stockholm as he received the Nobel Prize for Literature in December 1966. “But always I regarded myself as one who was born in Jerusalem.” Reflecting on this, the Israeli writer '''Amos Oz''' comments:		“As a result of the historic catastrophe in which Titus of Rome destroyed Jerusalem and Israel was exiled from its land, I was born in one of the cities of the Exile,” proclaimed Shmuel Yosef Agnon in Stockholm as he received the Nobel Prize for Literature in December 1966. “But always I regarded myself as one who was born in Jerusalem.” Reflecting on this, the Israeli writer '''Amos Oz''' comments:
