Abstract
The poet Max Fullenbaum (1937-2022) was born in France to immigrant Jewish parents. A hidden child during the war and the author of more than a dozen experimental prose texts, Fullenbuam published in 2001 an unclassifiable poetic text that seeks to challenge Adorno's injunction on writing poetry after Auschwitz by adding the four words: "on a blank page". This contribution to the volume analyzes the poetics of Fullenbaum's "book-monument" and raises the issue of some of his problematic analogies to the Shoah.
