Has This Hectacomb Been Over?
This chapter presents various forms and functions of subversion referring to three literary examples which come from the recent Polish and German fiction. Subversion in this study is comprehended as a transgression of all textual boundaries; as such, it is present in a wide range of narrative strategies and artistic techniques which contest and deconstruct the accepted established cultural forms of transmission of the Holocaust memory. The three analyzed examples are Polish author Igor Ostachowicz's Noc żywych Żydów (Night of the Living Jews [2012]), Polish author Mariusz Sieniewicz's Żydówek nie obsługujemy (We Don't Serve Jewesses [2006]), and German author Maxim Biller's In Kopf von Bruno Schulz (Inside the Head of Bruno Schulz [2013; translated 2015]).
