Özet:

 

Emily Prager’s novel Eve’s Tattoo works within and against a gendered discourse of  historical narratives, relying on oral tales and contemporary performance in order to revitalize a composite concentration camp victim whose fate is traced through a variety of  frames. Ironic and postmodern, it acts as an important American Studies text for its  interventions into historical frameworks and its use of cultural studies motifs, its manipulation  of subjectivity and identity, and its focus on performance and appropriation. The novel relies  on an odd sense of nostalgia for the past—in preference, almost, to a complicated present in  the archetypal American city, New York—even as it limns the fate of “unusual” victims under  Nazi Germany.
