The six authors in this study, Memmi, Wiesel, Schwarz-Bart, Perec, Modiano, and Jacques, all writing after Auschwitz, engage in a quest for a modern Jewish consciousness. Torn between the opposing pulls of Judaism and French cultural values, they exhibit their tension and ambivalent feelings through the themes and structure of their fiction, and in their ambiguous relationship with the French language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamara Alvarez-Detrell,Joyce Block Lazarus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820440205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820440200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Tamara Alvarez-Detrell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082576699647,"sku":"9780820440200","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/strangers-and-sojourners-tamara-alvarez-detrell-9780820440200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
