兰格的细致、周到、极其聪明和克制的研究所提供的巨大服务是，暴行的美学不再是受害者的专属领域。他的许多作家不是犹太人，有几个没有被监禁或拘留，但他们都被死亡集中营的宇宙撕裂了。当时的暴行和奥斯威辛集中营之后的暴行代表了一种连续性，几乎可以称为一种新的传统，在这种传统中，变幻莫测的恐怖是真实的，而温柔和慷慨是一种令人惊叹的奇迹。《大屠杀与文学想象》是一部批评的先驱之作，因为它促使我们，读者和作家一样，去探究一个基本的悖论：文学如何能愉悦、震撼、警告和改变一个没有任何东西被隐藏、没有任何东西被禁止、没有任何东西令人震惊或不真实的人类。“--亚瑟A.科恩，纽约时报书评。
"The immense service that Langer's careful, thoughtful, immensely intelligent and restrained study renders is that the esthetics of atrocity cease to be an exclusive domain of the victims. Many of his writers are not Jewish and several were not imprisoned or interned, and yet all of them have been riven by the death-camp universe. The atrocity of that time and the atrocities that have succeeded Auschwitz represent a continuity that may almost be called a new tradition, one in which the phantasmagoric and horrific is real and the gentle and generous a prodigy to be remarked with amazement. "The Holocaust and the literary Imagination is a pioneering work of criticism for it impels us, readers and writers alike, to inquire after the basic paradox: how can literature delight and transfix or warn and modify a humanity from whom nothing is hidden, nothing prohibited, for whom nothing is shocking or unreal." --Arthur A. Cohen, New York Times Book Review.
