Aught from Naught : A.M. Klein's The Second Scroll
|
| Abstract |
The publisher’s notes indicates that Montreal author and poet A.M. Klein's 1951 novel The Second Scroll “is a complex, demanding and disturbing book, and one of the most fascinating and innovative novels written in Canada. This book situates The Second Scroll in a Canadian literary and critical context, discusses Klein's use and view of language, examines the novel in terms of the aesthetics of Holocaust literature, and provides a chapter-by-chapter critical commentary on the text.” The novel concerns the quest for meaning in the post-Holocaust world, as an unnamed narrator, a Montreal journalist, editor, poet and Zionist travels to the State of Israel soon after its founding, searching for his long-lost uncle, Melech Davidson, a Holocaust survivor.
