Contents Introduction: "Mighty aphrodite" or, How to have it both ways -- Resister after the fact : Schlink's Selb trilogy and the popular culture alibi -- Soothing fictions : ambiguity as defense -- "What would you have done?" : guilt as virtue -- Fathers & sons: two kinds of second generation victims -- Victims all : The reader as an American novel -- Going global : the Hollywood reader.
Abstract Holocaust as Fiction seeks to explain and critically evaluate the extraordinary success of Schlink's internationally acclaimed novel, The Reader, the widely read "Selb" detective trilogy, and two popular films based closely on his work. With the help of wide-ranging reception data, the work of Holocaust scholars, as well as cultural and legal reflections on the concept of guilt, Donahue elucidates not only these works, but the wider critical climate that has fostered their success.
