Synopsis:
Writing After Hitler: The Work of Jakov Lind is the first comprehensive study of this creative and controversial writer and will be of interest not only to students and academics working in German and Austrian Studies, but to everyone interested in the Holocaust, the literature of exile and the cultural legacy of central European Jewry. Jakov Lind was born in Vienna in 1927. As an eleven-year old boy from a Jewish family, he left Austria after the Anschluss, found temporary refuge in Holland, and succeeded in surviving inside Nazi Germany by assuming a Dutch identity. After a literary apprenticeship in Israel, he made his reputation through works of fiction written in German, although he now lives in Britain and writes in English. Lind's writings are distinguished by an extraordinary variety of stylistic and linguistic modes, which are used, in both his autobiographical and his fictional narratives, to express the experiences of exile, linguistic dislocation and cultural uncertainty. The articles collected in this volume reassess the strategies which Lind adopted to explore the implications of living and writing 'after all that occurred under Hitler'.
About the Author: Edward Timms was former director of German-Jewish studies and research Professor at the University of Sussex, writing works on Karl Kraus and post-war Austria. Dr Andrea Hammel is a reader in modern languages at the University of Aberystwyth, whose research interests include German-Jewish literature and culture, and women's writing.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xiii + 222 pages, NOT ex-library. Missing the front blank endpaper (torn out); a short corner crease on a couple of leaves. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Dust jacket shows creases, wear to the upper edges. -- A scholarly study of Jakov Lind (1927-2007), a controversial and creative Austrian-Jewish writer. The volume reassesses the literary strategies Lind used to navigate the trauma of the Holocaust and his subsequent life in exile. The book examines how Lind's work captures the "madness of 20th-century European civilisation". It focuses on several key areas: - The Experience of Exile: Contributors explore Lind's transition from a Jewish boy fleeing the Anschluss to a survivor who lived inside Nazi Germany under a false Dutch identity. - Linguistic Dislocation: The study analyses Lind's shift from writing in German to writing in English, reflecting his complex relationship with his "mother tongue" after it was used for "murderous" purposes. - Literary Modes: The articles discuss his use of diverse styles - including the grotesque, surrealism, and satire - to express the cultural uncertainty and physical horrors he witnessed. Autobiography vs. Fiction: It looks at how Lind blended factual memoir with fictional narratives to explore the implications of writing "after all that occurred under Hitler". -- "Writing After Hitler: The Work of Jakov Lind is the first comprehensive study of this creative and controversial writer and will be of interest not only to students and academics working in German and Austrian Studies, but to everyone interested in the Holocaust, the literature of exile and the cultural legacy of central European Jewry." -- "Jakov Lind is an Austrian-Jewish writer settled in England. He is a many faceted and to some extent controversial figure - a self proclaimed Zionist who it seems is not well regarded by the Government of Israel. These essays look at his work in terms of their language, subject matter and context.". Seller Inventory # 012604
