Transnational Memories in Antonio Muñoz Molina’s Sepharad

What is it about?

This article analyses the role of transnational memory in Antonio Muñoz Molina’s novel Sepharad, which has been considered an example of multidirectional memory (Rothberg) because of the way it incorporates the memory of European totalitarianism and the Holocaust. The transnationalisation of memory in Sepharad is conditioned both by the Spanish debates on memory and by the tension between a transnational perspective on memory and the desire to narrate universal experiences of victimisation.
