The future of fiction
One of the richest strands to emerge from the festival is fiction from writers of East Asian origin, who record some of the most devastating social and political upheavals of the last half century.
At the end of a session with thriller writer Sam Bourne this week, an audience member asked why there was so much writing about the Nazi Holocaust and so little about other, more recent ones. Bourne - whose novel Pantheon investigates the complicity of Yale and Oxford universities in eugenicist attempts to save "the brightest and best" during the second world war – was speaking in one of the bigger tents at the Edinburgh International Book festival. Thanks partly to the World Writers' Conference, more recent holocausts have been discussed, but you needed to go to the smaller venues to find them.
题材的汇集让人不禁想：文学界和读者们对 holocaust 题材经久不衰的热爱是出于什么心理？
