A Thousand Darknesses: Lies and Truth in Holocaust Fiction

A Thousand Darknesses by Ruth Franklin is a groundbreaking study that delves into the complexities of Holocaust fiction, shedding light on the often-blurred lines between truth and lies in these works.

Franklin argues that literature plays an equally vital role as testimony in understanding the Holocaust, and her persuasive case makes for a lucid view of an often cloudy field.

With a fresh perspective on memoirs by Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi, and novels by writers such as Piotr Rawicz, Jerzy Kosinski, W.G.

Sebald, and Wolfgang Koeppen, Franklin's book offers a comprehensive understanding of the essential role that imagination plays in creating literary works about the Holocaust.
