Subject of Holocaust Fiction

by Budick, Emily Miller
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780253016263 Indiana University Press

Fictional representations of horrific events run the risk of undercutting efforts to verify historical knowledge and may heighten our ability to respond intellectually and ethically to human experiences of devastation. In this captivating study of the epistemological, psychological, and ethical issues underlying Holocaust fiction, Emily Miller Budick examines the subjective experiences of fantasy, projection, and repression manifested in Holocaust fiction and in the reader's encounter with it. Considering works by Cynthia Ozick, Art Spiegelman, Aharon Appelfeld, Michael Chabon, and others, Budick investigates how the reading subject makes sense of these fictionalized presentations of memory and trauma, victims and victimizers.

Karbala: A Historical Play by Premchand
In seventh-century Arabia, Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Imam Hussain, <br>sacrificed his life and his family members and companions in the desert of<br>Karbala, Iraq, to resist the debauched ruler Yazid. In twentieth-century India, <br>when the communal conflict was at its peak, Premchand wrote a play about this<br>pivotal event of Islamic history and transformed it into a nationalist narrative.<br>This first-ever English translation of Premchand's outstanding play Karbala<br>(1924) is an illuminating blend of historical facts and imagination. It reveals<br>Premchand's profound understanding of the communal conflict in early<br>twentieth-century India and his unique way of imagining the nation, in tune<br>with Gandhian principles of communal harmony and co-existence of religions.
