Un enfoque a las representaciones literarias del siglo XXI sobre el Holocausto

Contenido principal del artículo

Gustavo Sánchez Canales

Resumen

En este artículo me centro en dos novelas de dos escritores judeoamericanos de tercera
generación que se aproximan al tema del Holocausto de manera distinta. En primer lugar,
el análisis de imágenes que recuerdan al Holocausto y que aparecen en La solución final
(The Final Solution, 2004) de Michael Chabon. Esta novella muestra las secuelas del horror
de los campos de concentración a través de la experiencia traumática de un niñosuperviviente
de nueve años. La otra novela, Todo está iluminado (Everything Is
Illuminated, 2002) de Jonathan Safran Foer, una historia narrada desde dos puntos de
vista (uno cómico y el otro serio), parece ser la manera en la que Foer pretende mostrar si
ambos puntos de vista son (o no) reconciliables.
