How did German-speaking Holocaust survivors pursue literary careers in an often-indifferent postwar society? How did their literary life writings reflect their postwar struggles? This monograph focuses on four authors who bore literary witness to the Shoah - H. G. Adler, Fred Wander, Edgar Hilsenrath, and Ruth KluÌger. It analyzes their autofictional, critical, and autobiographical works written between the early 1950s and 2015, which depict their postwar experiences of writing, publishing, and publicizing Holocaust testimony. These case studies shed light on the devastating aftermaths of the Holocaust in different contexts. Adler depicts his attempts to overcome marginalization as a writer in Britain in the 1950s. Wander reflects on his failure to find a home either in postwar Austria or in the GDR. Hilsenrath satirizes his struggles as an emigrant to the US in the 1960s and after returning to Berlin in the 1980s. Finally, in her 2008 memoir, Ruth KluÌger follows up her earlier, highly impactful memoir of the concentration camps by narrating the misogyny and antisemitism she experienced in US and German academia. Helen Finch analyzes how these under-researched texts intertwine transgressive political criticism with the shadow of trauma. Drawing on scholarship on Holocaust testimony, transnational memory, and affect theory, her book reveals new perspectives on canon formation and exclusion in postwar German literature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a German literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Holocaust survivors' writings, German $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Autobiography $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German prose literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German prose literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Autobiography $x Jewish authors $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200322 650 7 $a German literature $x Jewish authors $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941834 650 7 $a German prose literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941953 650 7 $a Holocaust survivors' writings, German $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958864 655 7 $a Literary criticism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Finch, Helen (Helen Cleugh) $t German-Jewish life writing in the aftermath of the Holocaust $d Rocchester, New York : Camden House, 2023 $z 9781800109957 $w (DLC) 2022056315 830 0 $a Dialogue and disjunction 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6CB04DF29E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
