Beskrivning
Roth and Trauma: The Problem of History in the Later Works (1995-2010) moves beyond a critical reception of Philip Roth's recent fiction that has focused primarily on an interest in post WWII America. By contrast, Aimee Pozorski argues that these novels grapple more comprehensively with US history in their fascination with America's "traumatic beginnings" and the legacy of the American Revolution. Drawing on close readings and trauma theory, Roth and Trauma reveals the problem of history in Roth's later works to be the unexpected and repeated appearance of historical trauma that links the still-unfinished American dream with the nightmarish quality of our recent history.

Recensioner i media

"With an engaging combination of personal warmth and scholarly comprehensiveness, as well as an ear attuned to the poetics of prose, Aimee Pozorski expands the horizons of critical discourse by reading the masterpieces of Philip Roth's late period as excavations of 'the darker secrets of American identity,' going back as far as the Revolutionary War.  A sophisticated grasp of the temporality of traumatic experience sustains Pozorski as she bears witness to the cultural wounds laid bare in Roth's work." --Peter L. Rudnytsky, Professor of English, University of Florida, USA, and author of Rescuing Psychoanalysis from Freud and Other Essays in Re-Vision (2011)
