Anne Frank Unbound Media, Imagination, Memory

"Anne Frank Unbound ... tell[s] us a great deal about the myriad uses to which one individual story has been and can be put. ... In addition to these ethical and political questions, the essays engage productively with the aesthetic choices made by writers, visual artists, filmmakers, performance artists, and comedians, who recast Anne Frank in a variety of media and situations. ... If Anne Frank Unbound is any indication, the diary will certainly continue ... To raise a set of persistent ethical, political, and aesthetic questions that have been with us since its first publication."--Women's Review of Books "These essays provide fresh takes on Anne Frank, her diary, and historical magnitude. The volume leaves the reader in a new place of discovery and awareness." Shelley Hornstein, co-editor of Image and Remembrance: Representation and the Holocaust (IUP, 2002) "This engrossing collection of 12 interdisciplinary essays covers multiple aspects of 'the Anne Frank phenomenon,' including adaptations of the original diary or allusions to it in plays, films, documentaries, ballets, operas, poetry, popular songs, philosophical tracts, and other non-fiction and fiction works."--Broadside
