When the real is so fantastic, what literary effects will succeed
in making it credible and help readers to comprehend its human
meaning? As recent world developments fully show us, several
lessons of the Nazi Holocaust still remain to be learned. To
respond meaningfully and ethically to the Holocaust, writers need
to incorporate moral and emotional complexity, and one way they
have done this is through using the techniques of the fantastic.
The authors in this anthology of essays examine the usefulness of
fantastic story-telling for exploring relevant philosophical and
moral issues about the Holocaust. The present volume is
interdisciplinary in scope, including print literature and film,
animation, graphic novels, and various other media. The editors
have sought essays that, while ranging in theoretical perspectives,
engage in dialogue with one another, together producing a
comprehensive whole. Examined are writers like JaneYolen and Art
Spiegelman and such works as the sci-fi television series V (1983),
Stephen King's novella Apt Pupil (1982), Guillermo del Toro's
imaginative Pan's Labyrinth (2006), and Martin Scorsese's dark
thriller Shutter Island (2010).
