The book highlights how the explosiveness of the moment captured in each short story is more immediate and more intense, and therefore recreates horrifying emotional reactions for the reader. The main themes confronted in the book deal with the collapse of human relationships, the collapse of the home, and the dying of time in the monotony and angst of surrounding death chambers. The book thoroughly introduces both the genres of the short story, and of holocaust writing, explaining the key features and theories in the area. Each chapter then looks at the stories in detail, including work by: Ida Fink, Tadeusz Borowski, Rokhl Korn, Frume Halpern, and Cynthia Ozick. This book is essential reading for anyone working on holocaust literature, trauma studies, Jewish Studies, Jewish Literature and the short story genre"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Short stories. 600 10 $a Fink, Ida $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Borowski, Tadeusz, $d 1922-1951 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Ozick, Cynthia $x Criticism and interpretation. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406015114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3501A2665D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
