“Letters from the Afterlife offers a deeply intimate view of the lives of two Jewish women writers working in two very different national, cultural, and literary contexts. This book highlights the disruptions that transformed the lives and literary careers of post-Holocaust Jewish writers and documents Rosenfarb and Larrson’s post-war decades of trauma, recovery, and artistic creativity.” Jan Schwarz, Lund University
