Among historical events of the 20th century, the Holocaust is unrivaled as the subject of both scholarly and literary writing. Literary responses include not only thousands of autobiographical and fictional texts written by survivors, but also, more recently, works by writers who are not survivors but nevertheless feel compelled to write about the Holocaust. Writers from what is known as the 'second generation' have produced texts that express their feeling of being powerfully marked by events of which they have had no direct experience. This book expands the commonly-used definition of 'second-generation literature,' which refers to texts written from the perspective of the children of survivors, to include texts written from the point of view of the children of Nazi perpetrators. With its innovative focus on the literary legacy of both groups, it investigates how second-generation writers employ similar tropes of stigmatization to express their troubled relationships to their parents' histories. Through readings of nine American, German, and French literary texts, Erin McGlothlin demonstrates how an anxiety with signification is manifested in the very structure of second-generation literature, revealing the extent to which the literary texts themselves are marked by the continuing aftershocks of the Holocaust. Erin McGlothlin is assistant professor of German at Washington University in St. Louis.

A partir des années ’70, on voit en France une résurgence de la mémoire juive de l’Occupation et de la Shoah, qui va de pair avec une extraordinaire floraison de romans et de récits. Une nouvelle génération d’écrivains prend la parole : c’est la « génération d’après », celle des enfants de survivants et des survivants-enfants. Jusqu’à ce jour, peu de critiques ont été sensibles à la puissante unité qui relie ces œuvres, malgré la diversité des styles employés. Le présent ouvrage se veut une étude d’ensemble de la « littérature de la génération d’après », en passant par une analyse comparative de trois œuvres : celles de Georges Perec, de Patrick Modiano et de Henri Raczymow. Comment parler ? Comment dire une expérience – celle de la Shoah - qu’on n’a pas, ou très peu vécue, et qui n’a été transmise que fort difficilement, comme absence ou comme disparition ? C’est pourtant cette « mémoire absente » qui est au cœur même de ces trois œuvres. Elle s’exprime à travers une poétique proche des recherches formelles d’Oulipo et du Nouveau Roman. Quelles sont les pratiques d’écriture adoptées par chacun des trois auteurs ? Et comment les transforment-ils dans le cours de leur œuvre ?
