Rezensionen

"Efraim Sicher's The Holocaust Novel is a most comprehensive, intelligent, and empathetic study of the literature representing the murder of the six million. As such it is also a history of the cultural reception of the Holocaust over six decades and innumerable national literary traditions. Readable and accessible, it is also an extremely useful handbook of "Holocaust" culture." -- Sander L. Gilman, Weidenfeld Professor of European Comparative Literature, St. Anne's College, Oxford University
