While post-modern anachronism, intertextuality, and intru-sive narrators foreground the challenges of retelling the Shoah in the post-witness era, the postmodern novel's frag-mentariness, confused chronology, and silences enable the articulation of trauma. In exploring the ethical risks and benefits of Holocaust fiction, this book questions the political implications for the French memory of the Occupation of six novels written in the wake of Chirac's acknowledgement of France's embroilment in the Nazis' genocidal project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelena Duffy is Professor of French at the University Wroclaw in Poland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 28, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52620571279667,"sku":"9781781888186","price":172.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ZFh6VUN0cWhiaXhlRFRPbFpFSDZ6QT09.webp?v=1761940716","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-holocaust-in-french-postmodern-fiction-aesthetics-politics-ethics-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
