Description

"Berel Lang addresses the relations between ethics and art in the context of contemporary discussions of the Holocaust. Are certain aesthetic means or genres "out of bounds" for the Holocaust? To what extent should artists be constrained by the "actuality" of history - and is the Holocaust unique in raising these problems of representation?"--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

The phrase "art within the limits" would be a provocation even if the limits were left unspecified.
