Beschrijving
Argues that the central issues in Holocaust historiography and literary criticism and are not simply prompted by fictionality of imaginative literature - they are already embedded as self-critique in the fictional narratives. Focusing on the problem of muteness helps unfold the ambivalences and ambiguities that shape the way we read Holocaust fiction, and the way we think about the Holocaust itself
