KlappentextI´m under twenty-five and I am unable to envision the future. I´m not the only one."A singular voice of the French "Bataclan Generation"-those most acutely conscious of the terrorist attacks in the mid-2010s-grappling with issues of memory or post-memory, trauma, and survivors´ dilemmas.âSurvive âis concerned with the work of grieving for strangers-a grief which does not begin or end, but is rather a structural part of one´s being in the world. For Finkelstein, it is essential [t]o abide. Deep inside what is dying, in the midst of the bullets going astray and the offenses accumulating, in the midst of the misunderstandings imposed on a face other than my own, on a body other than my own...to build a world that thinks, a world that gives, a world that beats-a living world. Survive situates contemporary youth in a violence-saturated present with which they are all too familiar, yet from which many of them feel alienated in a plurality of difficult-to-define ways.Frederika Amalia Finkelstein cuts across national and cultural contexts, from French to Argentinian to North American, touching on the challenge facing her generation: to understand their own lives as uniquely meaningful in the face of unending mass suffering.
