Beskrivning
Analysing the past two decades of literature on Holocaust memory and migration stories, Agnes Mueller engages with writers such as W. G. Sebald, Thomas Bernhard, Edgar Hilsenrath, Benjamin Stein, Mirna Funk, Fred Wander, Barbara Honigmann, Julia Franck, Sasha Marianna Salzmann, Olga Grjasnowa, and Kat Kaufmann to explore current debates on Israel, the German Democratic Republic, gender, Jewish and Muslim identity, and antisemitism. Her new readings of German-language texts by younger authors present robust challenges to entrenched ideas concerning the singularity of the Holocaust, multidirectional memory, and a range of other memory debates. Jewish identity and Muslim identity are shown in direct conversation with other migrants' experiences, and literature is revealed to be a brave space where Holocaust memory is newly imagined. Mueller's study invites a radically new way to think about the Holocaust and sheds new and valuable light on adjacent contemporary discourses.

Recensioner i media

'Holocaust Migration in German Jewish Literatures is essential reading for anyone interested in the dynamics of contemporary German culture in relation to the legacy of the Holocaust. Agnes Mueller draws on a deep knowledge of the German literary landscape, highlighting literature as what Adorno terms 'unconscious history writing' in a complex, changing society.' Jonathan Skolnik, Associate Professor of German, University of Massachusetts Amherst
