Abstract
Hugo Hamilton's novel Disguise depicts a protagonist who adopts the identity of a Jewish survivor based on mediated recollections of the Second World War. Taking the novel's epigraph—a reference from Joseph Beuys's installation Szene aus der Hirschjagd (Scene from the Stag Hunt)—as its point of access, this essay explores the opportunities and the risks involved in the process of expanding upon, and reinterpreting, sources from cultural memory's archive.
