This beautiful, finely wrought, and impeccably argued text makes a vital and refreshing contribution to existing scholarship in a number of fields: Holocaust literary studies, contemporary German literature, psychoanalytic literary criticism, and literary theory, more generally. Timely, profound, thoughtful, and ambitious in scope, it could very well become an instant classic of literary criticism.\"—Elissa Marder, Emory University\u003cbr\u003e\"The book's importance lies not only in its insights into particular texts, but in its redefinition of testimony and our responses to it.
