| Samenvatting: | The first four decades of Israel’s existence were maked by a cultural code that inhibited a literary engagement with the human experiences of the Holocaust. Since the mid-1980s, a growing number of Israel writers have attempted to textualize the horrific experiences of the Holocaust so as to make them tangible to the imagination and available to emotion and to thought. Each includes an unflinching encounter with the agonies of the concentrationary universe as an essential step in the process of integrating the Holocaust experience into the identity of its protagonist. The narrative strategies adopted in each case include powerful elements of the fantastic as a means of penetrating prohibited regions of the psyche and the culture and reclaiming the suppressed experience of the Holocaust. David Grossman’s See under : Love exemplifies this trend in Israeli writing. |
