Holocaust Fiction (Hardcover)

Holocaust Fiction examines the controversies which have accompanied the publication of novels which represent the Holocaust. It looks at the most controversial Holocaust literature, the violently mixed receptions of these fictions, and what can be concluded from their reception about the ethics and practice of millennial Holocaust literature.
The novels examined, including some for the first time, are:
* Time's Arrow by Martin Amis
* The White Hotel by D.M. Thomas
* The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski
* Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally
* Sophie's Choice by William Styron
* The Hand that Signed the Paper by Helen Darville
In this compelling book, Sue Vice takes issue with the idea that the Holocaust should only be represented factually, and argues that Holocaust Fiction is not only a legitimate, but an important genre which it is essential to come to terms with.
With Holocaust Fiction, Sue Vice adds a new, intelligent and contentious voice to the key debates within Holocaust studies.
