When the Nazis begin to liquidate the Ghetto, his mother smuggles him out, and leaves him at the care of her childhood friend, Mariana, a Ukrainian prostitute. When his mother turns to leave and kisses him for the last time, Hugo cannot pronounce the word ‘mother’. Language is suppressed, and with it, all of Hugo’s memories of pre-war years and of his parents. It is replaced by silences, and a new functional lexis. “Now it isn’t words that speak to him, but silence,” Appelfeld writes. “This is a difficult language, but as soon as one adopts it, no other language will ever be as effective.” In a much earlier short story, ‘Kitty’ (first published in Hebrew in the collection In the Fertile Valley, 1963), Appelfeld introduces his readers to a young Jewish girl who is hiding from the Nazis in a convent. Kitty is about the same age as Hugo, and she too is surrounded by silence and her muteness allows her to create a parallel reality. In this paper I will look closely on language, silence and the inability to use language as they are linked with the coming of age of Appelfeld’s young protagonists who find themselves in the most unspeakable reality.","PeriodicalId":53276,"journal":{"name":"Yod","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70081644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I will illustrate my position by referring to Appelfeld’s book The Man who never stopped sleeping. I will link religiosity to a strategy of circumventing traumatic memory. In my view, Appelfeld’s coping with the traumatic memory involves substitution of the void of the trauma with adherence to religiosity, which is identified with an ecstatic act of poetic writing. For Appelfeld, as expressed for example in his First Person Essays (1979), religiosity represents the experience, emotion and personal attitude to the transcendental, which is also intimately related to creative writing. In his view, the unspoken residue of the trauma points toward the beginning of his own life and also that of his ancestors. The trajectory of the route which Appelfeld follows in re-connecting to life takes him backwards to the primordial sources of his family. This is a morbid act with an Orphic dimension, yet for Appelfeld is a source of life. In his return home, to the “beginnings”, his parents and grandparents and grand-grandparents, Appelfeled seemingly returns to the pre-traumatic time, mending the shattered fragments via his writing while attempting to heal his threatened Self.","PeriodicalId":53276,"journal":{"name":"Yod","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70081779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Si la vrai/fausse « confession » de Roth se presente comme le detournement vertigineux des codes du fantastique, de l’autobiographie et de l’autofiction, le roman d’Appelfeld pousse les limites du realisme par l’interrogation que suscite son titre enigmatique qui renvoie au surnaturel. Œuvre qui evoque la Shoah sans la representer, le roman d’Appelfeld correspond a ce que Sartre a defini comme une « litterature des situations extremes ». Neanmoins, par son titre et la page blanche qui separe ses deux parties et renvoie a l’« indicible » de la Shoah, ne sollicite-t-elle pas aussi le fantastique qui, selon Todorov, n’est pas necessairement une configuration imaginaire, mais plutot « l’hesitation eprouvee par un etre qui ne connait que les lois naturelles, face a un evenement en apparence surnaturel » ? Philip Roth, critique litteraire tout autant qu’ecrivain, n’a t-il pas bien cerne cette dualite en creant dans Operation Shylock un Appelfeld fictionnel, le « double » bienveillant de son homonyme reel aux cotes d’un Roth affuble d’un « double malefique », indiquant ainsi qu’Appelfeld transcende l’evenementiel qui lui a valu injustement le titre reducteur d’« auteur de la Shoah » ?","PeriodicalId":53276,"journal":{"name":"Yod","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70081241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
