Reviews

Forgiveness may be implied in a certain Jewish humor that offers the possibility of forgiveness as its impossibility. Peter Banki makes me think that that a humanity capable of crimes against humanity is in just such a double bind with itself. -- -Jean-Luc Nancy An extremely well-written, subtle, and moving meditation on the impasses of forgiveness in the face of the Holocaust and other unforgivable crimes, challenging our notions of what it means to be a person and whether there is a universal order of human beings that might allow perpetrator and victim to recognize in each other a shared humanity. Banki's book is an excellent study-supple in its interpretations, limpid in its style-and will be of great interest to students and scholars of literature, political science, philosophy, history, and anthropology. -- -Rochelle Tobias Johns Hopkins University
