Reviews

Superb... by scrupulously defending the integrity of literature, Ms. Franklin has offered her own eloquent testimony. Wall Street Journal Ruth Franklin's keen analysis makes a major contribution to the literary criticism of Shoah writers, and her humane perspective renders the nuances of a fraught subject newly comprehensible.
