  Article:   FACTUAL AND FIGURAL: ON DANIEL MENDELSOHN’S THE LOST.

Authors:  . 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Factual and Figural: On Daniel Mendelsohn’s The Lost. My intention here is to point out some of the inexhaustible hermeneutical possibilities engendered by a masterpiece that, to my knowledge, is hardly known to the Romanian readers, except, perhaps, for academic circles. Mendelsohn’s novel, The Lost, is a palimpsest account of an abominable family saga with which Truman Capote’s famous concoction “the non-fiction novel” is transgressed in a brilliant intertextual game between factual and figural.

Keywords: Jewishness, Holocaust, World War II, Torah, Family Tree, Intertextuality, Hypertext.
