A major contribution to Holocaust studies, the book examines the capacity of supernatural elements to dramatize the ethical and representational difficulties of Holocaust fiction. Exploring texts by such writers as D.M. Thomas and Markus Zusak it will appeal to scholars and students of Holocaust literature, magic realism, and contemporary fiction.
'This original and timely study adds a new dimension to our understanding of Holocaust writing. In her focus on magical realism, Adams offers fresh insights into a genre that has developed into one of the most important forms of literary response to the Nazi period.' - Dr. Matthew Boswell, Lecturer in English, University of Salford, UK
