  1. Art Spiegelman, Maus (1980-91)

  2. To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric. Theodor Adorno

  3.

Irving Howe, ‘Writing and the Holocaust’

  4. If your list were divided into literature and non-literature, I could gracefully accept the compliment as intended, but to the extent that ‘fiction’ indicates a work isn’t factual, I feel a bit queasy. As an author, I believe I might have lopped several years off the thirteen I devoted to my two-volume project if I could have taken a novelist’s license while searching for a novelist’s structure.
