Description
Résumé:In this article, Elrud Ibsch investigates whether German literature, like Holocaust literature in general, has evolved from bearing witness to experimentation. She analyzes Der Tod des Widersachers by Hans Keilson, Nacht and Der Nazi und der Friseur by Edgar Hilsenrath and Die Kannibalen by George Tabori. These works are characterized as “moral experiments,” which, along with ethical experiments in writing, constitute one way of representing the Holocaust in literature. Ibsch also studies the quest for identity among Jewish writers in the second generation following the Holocaust. She specifically looks at authors such as Maxim Biller, Barbara Honigmann, Esther Discherheit, Gila Lustiger and Rafael Seligmann, whose work is characterized by experimental writing.
