Omschrijving
Edited volume tracing the development of a new generation of German Jewish writers, offering fresh interpretations of individual works, and probing the very concept of "German Jewish literature."
[O]ffers a remarkably broad and diverse overview of recent developments in German Jewish discourse and features high-quality articles that indicate where German Jewish writing might be headed over the next couple of years. . . . [E]ssential reading for all those wishing to acquaint themselves with the latest trends in contemporary German Jewish discourse, particularly in relation to the Eastern European turn and the so-called third generation. It promises to reinvigorate debates about German Jewish writing, and it is to be hoped that it will give rise to many more exciting research and publication projects.
[A] stellar volume, which will have a great impact on scholarship not only in German Jewish studies, but also memory studies, narrative studies, and migration studies. . . . [T]he essays are suitable for use in advanced undergraduate or graduate seminars and would dovetail nicely in seminars that take up the primary texts in German or in English translation.
The 'value added' of this carefully edited volume lies in its steering of attention toward until now less-noticed authors of the third generation ([including] Olga Grjasnowa, Mirna Funk, Vladimir Vertlib, Alina Bronsky, Katja Petrowskaja, Oliver Polack, and Benjamin Stein), without neglecting characteristic voices of the first and second generations since 1990.
The theme common to most of these essays is whether the Holocaust is still the defining event of German-Jewish memory -- whether the Holocaust can fade. The volume is handsomely edited, all significant German passages are translated, and the bibliography is bilingual. . . . Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers.
HELEN FINCH is Professor of German Literature at the University of Leeds. JESSICA ORTNER is Associate Professor in the Department of English, Germanic, and Romance Studies at the University of Copenhagen. STUART TABERNER is Professor of German at the University of Leeds, UK.
