It surveys a range of British and American authors, from science fiction pulp to Pulitzer Prize winners, building on scholarship across disciplines, including Holocaust studies, trauma studies, and science fiction studies. The conventional discourse around the Holocaust is one of the unapproachable, unknowable, and the unimaginable - beyond language, beyond art, beyond thought. The 'othering' of the event has spurred the phenomenon of non-realist Holocaust literature, engaging with speculative fiction and its history of the uncanny, the grotesque, and the inhuman. This book examines the most common forms of nonmimetic Holocaust fiction while firmly positioning these forms within a broader pattern of non-realist engagements with the Holocaust."--taken from back cover. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature. 650 0 Speculative fiction, American |y20th century |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Speculative fiction, English |y20th century |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Speculative fiction, American |y21st century |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Speculative fiction, English |y21st century |xHistory and criticism. 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958923 650 7 Speculative fiction, American. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01764418 650 7 Speculative fiction, English. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01771666 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature. |2nli 650 7 Speculative fiction, American |y20th century |xHistory and criticism. |2nli 650 7 Speculative fiction, English |y20th century |xHistory and criticism. |2nli 650 7 Speculative fiction, American |y21st century |xHistory and criticism. |2nli 650 7 Speculative fiction, English |y21st century |xHistory and criticism. |2nli 650 7 |0(FrPBN)11941579Shoah |0(FrPBN)11996647 |xDans la littérature. |2ram 650 7 |0(FrPBN)12011896Science-fiction américaine |0(FrPBN)11975676 |xThèmes, motifs. |2ram 650 7 |0(FrPBN)12022054Science-fiction anglaise |0(FrPBN)11975676 |xThèmes, motifs. |2ram 648 7 1900-2099 |2fast 655 7 Literary criticism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 Literary criticism. |2lcgft 776 08 |iOnline version:Morgan, Glyn, |tImagining the unimaginable |b1. |dNew York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2020. |z9781501350559 |w(DLC) 2019026049 852 0 |bscstacks |hPS374.H56 |iM67 2020
