Waking the Dead: Correspondences between Walter Benjamin's Concept of Remembrance and Ingeborg Bachmann's Ways of Dying (Studies in Austrian Literature, Culture & Thought) - Hardcover
An examination of the relationship between historical experience and the structures of remembrance in Bachmann's Todesarten and their relation to Benjamin's concepts of "insightful remembering." Remmler (German, Mount Holyoke College) closely reads Bachmann's work to explore the struggle her protagonists make to remember the Shoah in postwar Austrian society when the society itself renders the experience mute. Unfortunately, Remmler's academic style makes this fascinating thesis convoluted, dry, and sometimes inaccessible. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
