Young, James Edward
At Memory's Edge: After-Images of the Holocaust in Contemporary Art and Architecture
New Haven, CT Yale University Press 2000 0300080328 / 9780300080322 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Fine Collectible SIGNED
248 pp., illus., biblio., index; 25 cm. PRESENTATION COPY. Signed by the author, with a personalized inscription. Spine slightly rolled at the crown. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "How should Germany commemorate the mass murder of Jews once committed in its name? In 1997, James E. Young was invited to join a German commission appointed to find an appropriate design for a national memorial in Berlin to the European Jews killed in World War II. As the only foreigner and only Jew on the panel, Young gained a unique perspective on Germany's fraught efforts to memorialize the Holocaust. In this book, he tells for the first time the inside story of Germany's national Holocaust memorial and his own role in it. In exploring Germany's memorial crisis, Young also asks the more general question of how a generation of contemporary artists can remember an event like the Holocaust, which it never knew directly. Young examines the works of a number of vanguard artists in America and Europe -- including Art Spiegelman, Shimon Attie, David Levinthal, and Rachel Whiteread -- all born after the Holocaust but indelibly shaped by its memory as passed down through memoirs, film, photographs, and museums. In the context of the moral and aesthetic questions raised by these avant-garde projects, Young offers fascinating insights into the controversy surrounding Berlin's newly opened Jewish museum, designed by Daniel Libeskind, as well as Germany's soon-to-be-built national Holocaust memorial, designed by Peter Eisenman. Illustrated with striking images in color and black-and-white, At Memory's Edge is the first book in any language to chronicle these projects and to show how we remember the Holocaust in the after-images of its history. / James E. Young, professor of English and Judaic studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, is also the author of The Texture of Memory, published by Yale University Press, which won the National Jewish Book Award." - Publisher.

James, Edward
Science Fiction in the Twentieth Century
Oxford Oxford University Press; An Opus Book 1994 0192892444 / 9780192892447 First Edition, First Printing Trade Paperback Very Good Collectible
xiv, 250 pp., biblio., index; 20 cm. Tight, clean copy. Browning. "Science Fiction in the Twentieth Century is the first book to challenge the traditional approach to science fiction as a series of texts and authors. Science fiction is identified as a cultural phenomenon whose ideas and imagery, through books, films, television, computer games, and children's toys, have become part of the everyday language of the late twentieth century. Edward James traces the development of science fiction as a distinct genre from 1895, the year of publication of H. G. Wells's The Time Machine, through the growing American domination of the field in the 1930s and 1940s, to the emergence of cyberpunk in the 1980s. A peculiarly twentieth-century genre, science fiction has tried to make sense of the rapidity of technological change and the impact which science and technology have made on our society. By imagining other worlds and possible futures, the genre allows us to view our present-day situation with greater detachment and perspective." - Publisher.
