Reviews
Meticulously researched and elegantly written... Ortner's Transcultural Memory and European Identity in Contemporary German-Jewish Migrant Literature is a masterfully written and accessible study that sheds light on a topical issue within Germany's and the EU's memory discourse as they undergo a significant temporal and geopolitical shift.
Scholars of contemporary German and German Jewish literature will find Ortner's Transcultural Memory more than useful for its framing of the contribution of writers from the former Soviet Union (and GDR) to current debates on German (and more generally Western) memory culture. More than this, however, its close readings will open up new ways of seeing key texts in the emerging canon of contemporary German Jewish literature.
