    Calls the absence of the Holocaust in TV in 1947 conspicuous, even stunning hence the interslices of the novel become even more essential. In TV the presence of the Holocaust is an inerasable defining rupture in the existence of European Jewry an in the disturbingly real conditions of life for American Jews as well. Set far from the ruins of Nazi devastation the Holocaust haunts TV in a Kafkaesque manner as New York looms and as Leventhal is haunted by phobic disorientation, fears, and victimization. Not literally or allegorically present in TV the Holocaust is there in trains, smokestacks, factories, fiery heat, pressing crowds, and asphyxiation by gas in city decay.
