Ronald Granofsky

Trauma Novel (eBook, PDF)

Contemporary Symbolic Depictions of Collective Disaster

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This study attempts to make sense of a group of novels that deal in a symbolic way with contemporary forms of collective disaster (the prospect of nuclear war, the Holocaust, environmental destruction). It shows similarities among British, American, Canadian and other novels never before grouped together and argues that they constitute a distinct sub-genre of fiction: the trauma novel. In so doing, the book sets forth an original theory about how literary symbolism functions as part of a cultural response to collective trauma.
