The article proposes a contrastive approach between the novels Passo de caranguejo, by the German writer Günter Grass, and Extinção: uma derrocada, by the Austrian Thomas Bernhard, exploring two fundamental questions: the theme of the permanence of the Nazi past in their original nations and the collusions and tensions between the authorial instances and the internal voices of the narratives. With this purpose, and in order to try to expose the ethical-aesthetic issues of the works under analysis without confining them to a judgemental point of view, but rather by weighing their affectual impasses, we try to guide our discussion by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida’s spectropoetics.
