". . . a fresh critical model for students of Holocaust literature and historiography . . . " -B'nai B'rith Messenger
"This is the first and most sophisticated attempt I have come across to apply modern literary theory to Holocaust material, and the act of mediation which it involves is worthy of praise." -Naomi Diamant, Prooftexts
