Book Description
Alexander (American studies and literature, U. of Gdansk, Poland), who has written about other Jewish authors, explores the bleak worldview of a British novelist from a Polish-Jewish background. She analyzes Brookner's zoom-in portrayal of her protagonists' faith in a better world despite exile, loneliness, and acceptance of authority and a class system, in 19 short novels from The Debut (1981) to Undue Influence (1999).
