Naissance littéraire du fascisme, by Uri Eisenzweig

Uri Eisenzweig is a professor of French and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University. He has written on the existentialists, on the fin-de-siècle crime novel, and on the Jewish imagination. Most notably, he is the author of Fictions de l’anarchisme, published with Bourgois in 2001. The aim of this earlier work was to explore the connection between the wave of terror bombings in Paris in 1892–94, the anarchist rejection of the concept of representation, and symbolist aes- thetics, especially pertaining to the portrayal of human motivation. At the outset, the author announced that the project in its entirety would consist of a trilogy: Naissance littéraire du fascisme represents its second installment (with a third yet to come, on the birth of political Zionism).
