Looking Holocaust backwards : Martin Amis’s Time’s Arrow

Öz

Martin Amis is one of the greatest contemporary British writers. His 1991 novel Time’s Arrow is an exciting work that gives detailed experiences about the horror event of the Holocaust. The dialogue in the novel occurs in reverse; thus, the reader should be keen when reading to understand simple conversations well. Martin Amis believes that the Holocaust is the central event of the 20th century. Time’s Arrow is of great interest to scholars of the Holocaust. In his early work, Martin Amis shows that he was interested in domestic issues and strict topics in the story about the Holocaust. Still, in Time’s Arrow, he handles serious problems, which portrayed him as an informative and enthusiastic person to address an event like the Holocaust, one of the popular literature platforms. Amis’s backward moves through time were presented clearly and comprehensively with a detailed account of the hero’s life in reverse, like playing a video in reverse mode. As Amis presented in the novel, the Nazi rationality blurred the lines between destruction and creation, as damages were frequently rationalized as a means to develop. The story brings a profound understanding that genocide killing will lead to racial renewal. It illustrates that conflict can be used as an approach towards national renewal as in the German case when it used militarism. This paper will explore the Holocaust presented by Martin Amis in the novel and the narrative techniques used in the Time’s Arrow.
