Babi Yar: A Document in the Form of a Novel Essays

Representation of history in D. M. Thomas' novel The White Hotel At first, when I started to read the novel written by D.M. Thomas The White Hotel, I had the feeling that this novel is so vain and down to earth, gray, and the parts with letters are so boring. I was ashamed of myself that I didn't appreciate this book. Then when I came to the parts with erotic poems the disgust captured me and I wanted to throw this book away from me. But the part that (invoked the most emotions)(touched my feelings

written by D.M. Thomas and published in 1981, is a post modern novel that does not read easily, with its graphic, frustrating and at times absurd story line, read through a fragmented structure. The novel, though it does not appear to do so in the beginning due to the nature of its explicit, and in some cases pornographic entries, becomes part of the Holocaust literature genre, detailing events specific to the atrocities that happened at Babi Yar, and retold from a version written by Anatoli Kuznetsov.
