SUMMARY:Author Talk: Sven-Erik Rose
DESCRIPTION:About the Author \nSven-Erik Rose is professor of German and of Comparative Literature at the University of California\, Davis. His first book\, Jewish Philosophical Politics in Germany\, 1789–1848\, was awarded the Jordan Schnitzer Book Award from the Association for Jewish Studies in the category of Philosophy and Jewish Thought. \nAbout the Book \nA study of literature written by Jewish authors while interned in Nazi ghettos emphasizes how authors processed their horrific experiences through poetry and prose. \nPublished in Association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. \nThis is the first study devoted to how little known but essential authors grappled with the destitution of ghetto existence by writing within\, at the limits of\, and against an array of literary scenarios\, tropes\, plot lines\, and generic conventions\, including those of nature lyric\, modernist interior monologue\, the realist social novel\, the detective story\, and the gothic horror tale. Contending with starvation\, disease\, desperate housing conditions and the looming threat of being murdered\, inhabitants of ghettos in Poland nonetheless made them sites of rich Jewish cultural production. Rose’s readings of these literary works reveal how authors asserted their humanity by insisting on writing works of literature. In such radically dehumanizing circumstances\, however\, their recourse to established literary genres was not naive. Rather\, ghetto authors brilliantly meditated on the grotesque incongruities between established literary models and the extreme conditions of ghetto existence.
