Description:
Essays in this volume take as their starting point the strivings of imaginative writing to surmount the problem of representing and interpreting the Holocaust and seek ways to connect past experience to the present and future. An underlying message is that literature might have a unique role to play in helping us learn the lessons of history and avoid repeating its tragic mistakes. Subjects include postwar fiction and the Shoah, and the Holocaust as seen through the eyes of children. The editors are lecturers in French at University College of London.
