Abstract

In his novel Sefarad (2001), Antonio Muñoz Molina inserts readers into the processes of exclusion experienced by those who, in the context of the Holocaust, the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), and Stalinism are crushed by the machinery of history. Sefarad involves readers in a mutually informative dialogue between past and present in order to preserve memory, to make it relevant for a contemporary reader, and to engage the reader in a counterdiscourse that is conceived outside an all-encompassing historical framework.
