The Literature of Auschwitz and Hiroshima: Thoughts on Reading Lawrence Langer's The Holocaust and the Literary Imagination

Kurihara Sadako and Richard H. Minear

Hiroshima, Japan
University of Massachusetts Amherst

Kurihara Sadako (b. 1913) is a prominent survivor-poet of Hiroshima. Published originally in Japan, her 1984 review of the Japanese translation of Lawrence Langer's The Holocaust and the Literary Imagination discusses issues Langer raises and considers them in the context of the experience of Hiroshima writer-survivors and the literature of Hiroshima. The essay raises in cogent and prayerful form the question: how best can comparative treatment of Holocaust and holocaust proceed? A translator's introduction by Richard H. Minear provides context for readers unfamiliar with Kurihara and/or the Japanese setting.
