Futurity: Contemporary Literature and the Quest for the Past

Futurity: Contemporary Literature and the Quest for the Past

by Amir Eshel (Author)

Synopsis

When looking at how trauma is represented in literature and the arts, we tend to focus on the weight of the past. In this book, author suggests that this retrospective gaze has trapped us in a search for reason in the madness of the twentieth century's catastrophes at the expense of literature's prospective vision.
