- W2014785696 abstract "Without Memory may be the most forgetful essay I've ever read. Only in the last two sections of it, however, did I notice that what induces both its amnesia its infelicitous mix of ethnic narcissism paranoia isn't William Styron, Sophie's Choice (1979), liberal anti-Judaism, or even Nazi genocide; it's assimilated Jews. The two final sections also show that when the essay, shaky from the start, at last addresses the matter which most troubles it, it comes completely, informatively, unhinged. Charges of guilt by association, for example, which appear as early as the opening page, now predominate. Assimilated Jews, Styron, John Rawls, the New Left are lumped together as sharing the view enunciated not by any of those stigmatized, but rather by an anti-Jewish Charleston, South Carolina, Sunday Times editorial written in 1845 to the effect that Jews must remember, you shall not disturb the Christian. As this instance of reductionism in overdrive indicates, the essay's grip on history, never firm, has loosened altogether. Another case in point appears in the closing words of Without Memory: [F]irst the Enlightenment now the New Left would oblige [the Jews] to abandon the sources of their memory. In the face of so grandiose a historical synthesis one is entitled to ask: and now the New Left? In the year 2001 is there a New Left, let alone one capable of obliging anyone to do anything? And does the essay really believe that the Jews have a single, unified, Holocaust-centered collective memory? Or consider the apparently historical insight that is presented earlier in the essay with unwarranted glee: that the Left has failed to understand how exclusivist Jews, by their refusal to adapt to modernity's Christian anti-Jewish ways, have been the real opponents of the modern state. It's hard to take this seriously as a" @default.
