"Albert Cohen: Dissonant Voices" by Jack I. Abecassis. (Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004). XVII, 246 pages IN ENGLISH Jack I. Abecassis’s Albert Cohen: Dissonant Voices (2004) examines the work of Franco-Jewish writer Albert Cohen as a deeply autobiographical and modernist literary project shaped by Jewish identity and historical trauma. It highlights the tensions in Cohen’s writing between affirmation of Jewishness and the use of satire, irony, and stereotyped figures. It also offers close readings of major works like Belle du Seigneur, situating them within Jewish biblical and modern European literary traditions. Overall, it is a scholarly reinterpretation of Cohen as a major modern Jewish writer whose work resists easy categorization and continues to provoke critical debate.
