The Belated Witness stakes out an original place within the field
of recent work on the theory and practice of literary writing after
the Holocaust. Drawing in productive and unsettling ways from
converging work in history, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and
literature, the book asks how the events of the Holocaust force us
to alter traditional conceptions about human experience, as well as
the way we can now talk and write about such experiences. Rather
than providing a mere account of an outside or inside reality,
literature after the Holocaust sets itself a more radical task: it
testifies to unspeakable experiences in a specific mode of address,
a call or summons to another in whose sole power resides the
possibility of a future response to such testimonies of
world-historical trauma.
