Holocaust as fiction: Bernhard Schlink's 'nazi' novels and their films
Donahue, William Collins
Holocaust as Fiction seeks to explain and critically evaluate the extraordinary success of Schlink's internationally acclaimed novel, The Reader , the widely read 'Selb' detective trilogy, and two popular films based closely on his work. With the help of wide-ranging reception data, the work of Holocaust scholars, and historical and legal reflections on the concept of guilt, Donahue moves to elucidate not only these works, but the critical climate that has fostered their success. William Collins Donahue is Chair of Germanic Languages & Literature at Duke University.
