Summary

A study of French Jewish Holocaust literature, written since the 1980s by authors who experienced the war as children or were born after it. Focuses on narrative techniques elaborated by Régine Robin, Robert Bober, Patrick Modiano, Gérard Wajcman, and Henri Raczymow in response to the near "non-experience" of the Shoah. Proposes a "literary esthetics of absence", which explores the themes of trauma, representation of the Shoah, autobiography, memory, and identity.
