Die Geschichte der Marranen, ein Paradigma jüdischer Identität in Österreich nach der Shoah? Robert Menasses die Vertreibung aus der Hölle

This essay discusses Die Vertreibung aus der Hoelle (2002)by the Austrian writer Robert Menasse in terms of the author's playful self-presentation as a Jew. It problematizes the text's genre between self-narration and historical novel and it situates it in the context of Menasse's oevre as well as in that of the writings of other Jews in Austria during the late 20th century
