| Short abstract | Les Bienveillantes (The Kindly Ones), caused a literary sensation in 2006. Described as ‘deliberately repellent’ by the New York Times, Jonathan Littell’s novel tells the story of World War II through the eyes of former SS officer Maximilien Aue. In the first academic study of this controversial best-seller, twenty-one leading scholars discuss the aesthetics, themes and characters of the novel, as well as formal aspects of Littell’s writing. Offering a highly varied range of approaches, they tackle ideas around parricide, genocide, anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, as well as Littell’s portrayal of historical and fictional characters. |
