Summary/Abstract: The article tries to identify distinctive features for the current of writing of the 3rd generation after the Holocaust on the basis of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Everything Is Illuminated that opens and establishes the basic features of his poetics. The experience of a loss, helplessness, panplagiarism and of searching for the meaning is manifested in various prose devices, ultimately leading through abductive meanders of reasoning to the affirmation of life.
