Christopher Bigsby. Remembering and Imagining the Holocaust: The Chain of Memory. New York: Cambridge University Press. 2006. Pp. vii, 407. $35.00.

In this book, the prolific American studies scholar Christopher Bigsby makes a foray into the realm of Holocaust literature with essays on nine writers whose work centers on memory, in general, and on the memory of the Holocaust, in particular. As he discusses in his introduction, Bigsby wrote this collection of essays out of his desire to honor the work of his late friend and colleague, W. G. Sebald. Taking Sebald as the first link in his "chain of memory," Bigsby goes on to explore the modes and uses of Holocaust memory in the writing of eight authors whose work was important to Sebald's. Those authors include Rolf Hochhuth, Peter Weiss, Arthur Miller, Anne Frank, Jean Améry, Primo Levi, Elie Wiesel, and Tadeusz Borowski.
