Overview
- Summary
- "This book investigates the works of third-generation Jewish authors Eva & Robert Menasse, D. Rabinovici, M. BIller and B. Honigmann at a time when a profound generational shift is bringing to an end the memory community of Holocaust witnesses, leaving their descendants struggling to define their own place and position at the intersections of memory, generation and identity. This study offers a comprehensive portrayal of the authors, reviewing their literary oeuvre as well as their significant political, cultural and philosophical contribution to contemporary German and Austrian discourse"--Page 4 of cover
