Challenging the notion that Jewish American and Holocaust
literature have exhausted their limits, this volume reexamines
these closely linked traditions in light of recent postmodern
theory. Composed against the tumultuous background of great
cultural transition and unprecedented state-sponsored systematic
murder, Jewish American and Holocaust literature both address the
concerns of postmodern human existence in extremis. In addition to
exploring how various mythic and literary themes are deconstructed
in the lurid light of Auschwitz, this book provides critical
reassessments of Saul Bellow, Bernard Malamud, and Philip Roth, as
well as contemporary Jewish American writers who are extending this
vibrant tradition into the new millennium. These essays deepen and
enrich our understanding of the Jewish literary tradition and the
implications of the Shoah.
