Abstract

The Jew Is a Myth
Boyle, Kay | October 13, 1945 issue

add to cart   close window

Writer Charles Odic, who was himself finally imprisoned in Buchenwald, Germany, holds no place in the world of contemporary French literature. Although he has written a book, he cannot be said to belong to any of the recent schools of French expression and thought, which have been divided into "the literature of collaboration, the literature of occupation, and the literature of resistance." And yet how futile, when compared with his testimony of action and of faith, appear the rhetorical discussions of a literature engagee and a literature degagee! Odic in his book concludes, "The Jew is a myth, the myth of German impotence. There is no more useful myth."
