After the Holocaust Paperback: The Book of Job, Primo Levi, and the Path to Affliction - Softcover

'Alford shows how carefully attending to our post-Holocaust predicament enables us to appreciate and share our humanity in ways that resist perverse forces intent on degrading and destroying human existence. Recognizing our finitude and fallibility while holding humankind accountable, Alford's flashes of insight are scarcely comforting, but they provide much-needed guidance that can bring us to our senses.' John K. Roth, Claremont McKenna College

'A work of literary sensitivity and erudition, After the Holocaust deepens our understanding not only of Holocaust survivors but of all who have been confronted by the unthinkable.' Raymond Scheindlin, Jewish Theological Seminary and translator of a new edition of the Book of Job
