Frameworks of Memory in Recent American Fiction : Narratives of East-Central European Immigrant Experience Hardback
by Marta Koval
Part of the New Americanists in Poland series
Hardback
Description
Based on the theory and methodology of transcultural memory, this book describes and analyzes the fictional representations of memory and forgetting and the multiple roles they play in identity construction of immigrants and exiles.
It focuses on fiction by contemporary American writers of East-Central European descent: Askold Melnyczuk, Domnica Radulescu, and Aleksandar Hemon.
The analysis of selected novels highlights a distinct historical slant with elements of generational memory, memory of places, rememory, and postmemory.
The author introduces and develops the concept of post-immigrant ethnic fiction and identifies a mnemonic pattern characteristic of American post-immigrant ethnic and exile writing.
