Writing alongside Anne rather than over her, Franklin explores the day-to-day perils of the Holocaust in the Netherlands as well as Anne's ultimate fate, restoring her humanity and agency in all their messiness, heroism, and complexity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith antisemitism once again in the news, \u003ci\u003eThe Many Lives of Anne Frank\u003c\/i\u003e takes a fresh and timely look at the debates around Anne's life and work, including the controversial adaptations of the diary, Anne's evolution as a fictional character, and the ways her story and image have been politically exploited. Franklin reveals how Anne has been understood and misunderstood, both as a person and as an idea, and opens up new avenues for interpreting her life and writing in today's hyperpolarized world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRuth Franklin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eA Thousand Darknesses: Lies and Truth in Holocaust Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature, and of \u003ci\u003eShirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography.
