Boyers, Robert ATROCITY AND AMNESIA, The Political Novel Since 1945
New York Oxford University Press 1985 0 19 503620 4 / 9780195036206 First Edition
Hardcover, FINE/FINE, 259pp. Fine / Fine REVIEW COPY, Oxford University Press review label on fep. Elaborating a provisional theory of the political novel, Boyers argues that it is useful to consult a book's sense of itself in considering how it affects us. Working deliverately against the grain of assumptions dominant in the contemporary literary academy, he examines novels by Gunter Grass, Solzhenitsyn, Garcia Marques and others, finding that it is necessary to speak of character, ethics and philosophic purpose if one is to understand these works. Invoking and revising the Marxist concept of "the absent cause," he insistently explains the relation between what is in a novel and what is nowhere actually present though essential to it all the same. In this penetrating study, Boys not only illuminates some of the major fictions of our time but makes an important contribution to contemporary political thought.
