Works about this Work

Reshaping the Holocaust : Australian Fiction, an Australian Past, and the Reconfiguration of 'Traditional' Holocaust Narratives Kirril Shields , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Holocaust Studies : A Journal of Culture and History , vol. 22 no. 1 2016; (p. 65-83)

'This article argues that some Australian fiction promotes a unique stance in regards to the Holocaust and the Third Reich. Reading Helen Demidenko/Darville's The Hand that Signed the Paper and James McQueen's White Light, I show that a cultural naivety exists in Australia, forged due to historical and cultural influences played out since the Second World War. These factors have influenced the country's memorialization of, and responses to, the Holocaust and the period's ensuing after-effects, as exampled in these two pieces of Australian fiction.'
