The Language of Trauma by John Zilcosky
Richly nuanced and firmly grounded in literature, biography, and history, The Language of Trauma analyses three major central European writers, revealing how they incorporated and responded to psychological and historical trauma.
“Zilcosky’s book is field-transforming and makes clear for the first time how Hoffman, Freud, and Kafka were hinting at traumatic symptoms in their stories, how they foregrounded the indeterminacy of language, and how they struggled to reveal the unintelligible symptoms of the traumas experienced in their time period” -- Susan E. Gustafson, University of Rochester-NY * Monatshefte *
John Zilcosky is a professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto.
