Nazi Doctor Past Tense Amis
802 wordsThe Point of Reversal Martin Amiss seventh novel, Times Arrow, or the Nature of the Offense is filled with echoes from the work of the great Holocaust writer Primo Levi. However from critical point of view, jokers laughing in the dark, poised between parody and bathos, humming with thoughts too deep for tears as well as other literary symbols recall Nabokov and Pynchon. For such writers, technique is discovery, not vain display, and their subjects are profound. In attempting a Holocaust novel, M...

Strangers On A Train By Alfred Hitchcock
1,697 wordsStrangers on a Train by Alfred Hitchcock Alfred Hitchcock's 37 th film, Strangers on a Train, can be held for the classical "thriller" for many reasons: the plot evolves around murder, blackmailing, and subtle sexuality.
