Between East and West: A Letter to Milan Kundera; Notes; Index 330 $aWorking deliberately against the grain of assumptions dominant in the contemporary literary academy, Boyers examines novels by Gunter Grass, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Milan Kundera and others, arguing that it is necessary to speak of character, ethics, and philosophic purpose if one is to understand these works. A penetrating study, Atrocity and Amnesia illuminates some of the major fiction of our time and makes an important contribution to contemporary political thought. 606 $aFiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitical fiction$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitical fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.3 676 $a809.3/9358 676 $a809.39358 700 $aBoyers$b Robert$0458348 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777315403321 996 $aAtrocity and amnesia$9172371 997 $aUNINA
