'Estimate Your Distance From the Belsen Heap' : Acknowledging and Negotiating Distance in Selected Works of Canadian Holocaust Literature
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the role that historical distance has played in the creation and critical understanding of representative works of Canadian Holocaust literature. He begins with an extensive analysis of the poetry and prose of geographically-distanced poet A.M. Klein, whose work, the author notes, is unique in the Canadian literary canon in that it mirrors the shifting psychological state of members of the Canadian Jewish community as news of the Holocaust slowly trickled into Canada. The author then discusses the Holocaust texts of Irving Layton and Leonard Cohen, both of whom experimented with increasingly graphic Holocaust imagery in their works in response to the increasingly more horrifying information about the concentration camps that entered the Canadian public conscience in the 1960s.
