Jorge Semprun is a leading writer from the first generation of
Spanish Civil War exiles, yet studies of his work have often
focused solely on his literary testimony to the concentration camps
and his political activities. Although Semprun's work derives from
his incarceration in Buchenwald and his expulsion from the Spanish
Communist Party in 1964, limiting the discussion of his works to
the autobiographical details or to the realm of Holocaust studies
is reductive. The responses by many influential writers to his
recent death highlight that the significance of Semprun's work goes
beyond the testimony of historical events. His self-identification
as a Spanish exile has often been neglected and there is no
comprehensive study of his works available in English. This book
provides a global view of his oeuvre and extends literary analysis
to texts that have received little critical attention. The author
investigates the role played by memory in some of Semprun's works,
drawing on current debates in the field of memory studies. A
detailed analysis of these works allows related concepts, such as
exile and nostalgia, the Holocaust, the interplay between memory
and writing, politics and collective memory, and postmemory and
identity, to be examined and discussed.
