内容説明

`The most persuasive reading so far.' MELVIN J. FRIEDMAN, UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSINStyron's ability to criticise adamantly American innocence and naiveteand his breaking of sacred silences by fictionalising the Holocaust areforcefully addressd in this study. Sirlin looks at how Sophie's Choiceexplores anti-Semitism, racism and sexism without being anti-Semitic, racist or sexist itself; she provides a comprehensive and even-handed discussion ofthe debate over silence versus remembering through retelling, recounting and fictionalising; and she confirms Sophie's Choiceas an important, powerful novel, which explores the potentially lethal nature of American innocence. Extensive interview with Styron as an appendix.
