A critical study of American Holocaust fiction

S. Lilian Kremer examines how major works of Jewish American Holocaust fiction represent the events surrounding the Holocaust, from its prelude through its aftermath. The study focuses on recurring themes and literary methods, with occasional comparisons to international Holocaust literature. It also considers how sources beyond literature have shaped writers’ portrayals of the Holocaust. The book’s approach combines close textual analysis with attention to the historical and literary contexts informing this body of fiction.

Book overview

Criticism of Holocaust literature is an emerging field of inquiry, and as might be expected, the most innovative work has been concentrated on the vanguard of European and Israeli Holocaust literature. Now that American fiction has amassed an impressive and provocative Holocaust canon, the time is propitious for its evaluation. Witness Through the Imagination presents a critical reading of themes and stylistic strategies of major American Holocaust fiction to determine its capacity to render the prelude, progress, and aftermath of the Holocaust.

The unifying critical approach is the textual explication of themes and literary method, occasional comparative references to international Holocaust literature, and a discussion of extra-literary Holocaust sources that have influenced the creative writers' treatment of the Holocaust universe.
