The novels examined, including some for the first time, are:   * Time's Arrow by Martin Amis * The White Hotel by D.M. Thomas * The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski * Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally * Sophie's Choice by William Styron * The Hand that Signed the Paper by Helen Darville.  Taking issue with the idea that the Holocaust should only be represented factually, this compelling book argues that Holocaust fiction is not only legitimate, but an important genre that it is essential to accept. In a growing area of interest, Sue Vice adds a new, intelligent and contentious voice to the key debates within Holocaust studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49555068125457,"sku":"GOR002974989","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49606367609105,"sku":"GOR013176917","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52489446686993,"sku":"NLS9780415185530","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/041518553X.jpg?v=1751103079"},{"product_id":"representing-the-holocaust-book-sue-vice-9780853034964","title":"Representing the Holocaust","description":"This collection of essays by leading and new British scholars focuses on central issues in Holocaust studies.

Shoah, the distillation of more than 350 hours of footage gathered over eleven years, tells the story of the Holocaust through interviews with survivors of the extermination camps, bystanders who watched or participated in mass murder, and some of the perpetrators of genocide.  Eschewing staple documentary elements of archival footage or narrating voiceover, the film is composed entirely of eyewitness interviews contrasted with footage of landscape in the present, and the chilling imagery of travelling trains. Shoah's effect is to represent the past, but only as it exists in the present - in Lanzmann's words, a \"fiction of the real\", and not a simple documentary.  In a series of close readings of some of the film's interviews, Sue Vice follows Lanzmann's declaration that \"Shoah is a fight against generalities\", in emphasising the importance of detail in both dialogue and filmic technique. Through these analyses, Vice explores the background to the film, the difficulties in its financing and production, and the long process of editing that led to Lanzmann's realisation that \"the subject of my film is death itself; death and not survival.\"  In her afterword to this new edition, Sue Vice considers developments such as the online availability of the complete ‘Shoah Collection’, Lanzmann’s archive at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Shoah's continuing influence on films that witness genocides and the Holocaust, including Joshua Oppenheimer's The Look of Silence (2014), and Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest (2023).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52100902945041,"sku":"NGR9781839029882","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53015180476689,"sku":"NIN9781839029882","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781839029882.jpg?v=1757091314"},{"product_id":"politics-of-dementia-book-nina-schmidt-9783110713572","title":"The Politics of Dementia","description":"Memory loss is not always viewed purely as a contingent neurobiological process present in an ageing population; rather, it is frequently related to larger societal issues and political debates. This edited volume examines how different media and genres – novels, auto\/biographical writings, documentary as well as fictional films and graphic memoirs – represent dementia for the sake of critical explorations of memory, trauma and contested truths. In ten analytical chapters and one piece of graphic art, the contributors examine the ways in which what might seem to be the individual, ahistorical diseases of dementia are used in contemporary cultural texts to represent and respond to violent historical and political events – ranging from the Holocaust to postcolonial conditions – all of which can prove difficult to remember. Combining approaches from literary studies with insights from memory studies, trauma studies, anthropology, the critical medical humanities and media, film and comics studies, this volume explores the politics of dementia and incites new debates on cultures of remembrance, while remaining attentive to the lived reality of dementia.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135155663121,"sku":"NLS9783110713572","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52760779325713,"sku":"NIN9783110713572","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783110713572.jpg?v=1757547491"},{"product_id":"holocaust-fiction-book-sue-vice-9780415185523","title":"Holocaust Fiction","description":"This is a critical survey of a broad range of fictional representations of the Holocaust over the last twenty years.

His career began with Coronation Street in the 1960s and he became famous for his popular sitcoms, including The Lovers and The Dustbinmen. During what is often known as the golden age' of British television drama, Rosenthal wrote such plays as The Knowledge, The Chain, Spend, Spend, Spend and P'tang, Yang, Kipperbang, as well as the pilot for the series London's Burning. This study offers a close analysis of all Rosenthal's best-known works, drawing on archival material as well as interviews with his collaborators and cast members.  It traces the events that informed his writing, ranging from his comic take on the permissive society' of the 1960s, through to recession in the 1970s and Thatcherism in the 1980s. Rosenthal's distinctive brand of humour and its everyday surrealism is contrasted throughout with the work of his contemporaries, including Dennis Potter, Alan Bleasdale and Johnny Speight, and his influence on contemporary television and film is analysed. Rosenthal is not usually placed in the canon of Anglo-Jewish writing but the book argues this case by focusing on his prize-winning Plays for Today The Evacuees and Bar Mitzvah Boy.  This book will appeal to students and researchers in Television, Film and Cultural Studies, as well as those interested in contemporary drama and Jewish Studies. -- .","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52537523437841,"sku":"NLS9780719088117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780719088117.jpg?v=1772793362"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-sue-vice.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
