Re-Interpreting Trauma in Literary Memoirs Written by Jewish Authors 
from Egypt.

Heidy Margrit Muller

Samenvatting

Decennia after leaving Egypt, Jewish writers started to write their memoirs about their childhood and youth. Though each author has his or her own stylistic and topical preferences, there are a few central problems that are dealt with in all of these autobiographical novels: Alterity, Loneliness, Fear, Forced Exile, Deprivation, Pain and Trauma.

A comparative approach can unveil, what mental strategies and ideological constructions help the fictional storytellers to cope with their multi-layered traumatic experience of uprooting, displacement or exile.
