Karl Kraus and the Discourse of Modernity by Ari Linden
Reviewed by: Karl Kraus and the Discourse of Modernity by Ari Linden William Collins Donahue Ari Linden, Karl Kraus and the Discourse of Modernity. Evanston: Northwestern UP, 2020. 201 pp. Elias Canetti rightly held Karl Kraus to be the greatest satirist in German literature, a distinction that, however, has complicated the author's entry into the modernist hall of fame. Adorno, the gatekeeper par excellence of literary modernism, effectively blo…

is you're a woman.You live for sensations
Illusions of Subtlety
In presenting the case of SS guard Hanna Schmitz from the perspective of her young lover, Bernhard Schlink’s award‐winning Der Vorleser would seem to represent that cutting edge of Holocaust literature interested in depicting per‐petrators in a more nuanced fashion. However, this gesture toward complexity – a welcome trend in itself – is not ultimately supported by the text, which insistently obscures Hanna’s role in a series of crimes against hu…

"Ist er kein Jude, so verdiente er einer zu sein"
Bell & Howell Information and Learning: Foreign text omitted. Jews were bit players upon the New Testament stage, present to drive the major argument that demonstrated that Christianity had succeeded where Judaism had failed, that God had chosen a new people, and that as a result of our win/lose mentality, present if not articulated in the history of Christian interpretation, we, that is, the Christians, won, and they, that is, the Jews, lost. Hi…
