Viewing literature as just one representative field among others in this area, Paver also treats film, memorials and photography. Her chapters are thematically focused rather than organised along generic lines: for example, chapter 5, which deals with memorial landscapes, looks at the concentration camps Mauthausen and Ebensee as well as providing a reading of Christoph Ransmayr’s novel on this topic.
