The first comprehensive study of Holocaust literature as a major postwar literary genre, The Holocaust Novel provides an ideal student guide to the powerful and moving works written in response to this historical tragedy. This student-friendly volume answers a dire need for readers to understand a genre in which boundaries and often blurred between history, fiction, autobiography, and memoir. Other essential features for students here include an annotated bibliography, chronology, and further reading list. Major texts discussed include such widely taught works as Night, Maus, The Shawl, Schindler's List, Sophie's Choice, White Noise, and Time's Arrow.

Reviews
"Efraim Sicher's The Holocaust Novel is a most comprehensive, intelligent, and empathetic study of the literature representing the murder of the six million. As such it is also a history of the cultural reception of the Holocaust over six decades and innumerable national literary traditions. Readable and accessible, it is also an extremely useful handbook of "Holocaust" culture." -- Sander L. Gilman, Weidenfeld Professor of European Comparative Literature, St. Anne's College, Oxford University

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
