Mosaic Fictions reveals the tensions between national and global affiliations in Spanish Civil War literature, highlighting writers such as Leonard Cohen, Dorothy Livesay, and Mordecai Richler.

Emily Robins Sharpe is an associate professor in the Department of English at Keene State College, where she is also an affiliate faculty member of the Departments of Women’s and Gender Studies, and Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

"A notable, original, and worthwhile contribution, Mosaic Fictions offers a range of research on the Spanish Civil war in relation to Canadian literature.

Josh Lambert, Sophia Moses Robison Associate Professor of Jewish Studies and English, Wellesley College:

"Among many admirable interventions, Mosaic Fictions does an excellent job – one of the best I can remember encountering – situating the work of Mordecai Richler, a major Canadian Jewish writer, in a broader context, and its treatments of Leonard Cohen, Martha Gellhorn, and many other important but understudied writers are similarly valuable. More broadly, Mosaic Fictions makes a fascinating case for ways in which Jewishness and other identities were in dialogue in a crucial, formative historical moment, and does so in such a way as to make a relatively narrow area of literary production much more widely relevant."
