Mandel's first book, Against the Unspeakable: Complicity, the Holocaust, and Slavery in America investigates the assumption that atrocity defies language, comprehension, and thought. She examines the political and cultural work that claims for unspeakability perform, the forms such claims take, the sources of their appeal, and what happens when they are resisted [2].
With Professor Alain-Philippe Durand, Mandel has also co-edited a collection of essays titled Novels of the Contemporary Extreme. This book investigates the contemporary phenomenon of "extreme fiction" and explores its international dimension with essays on novels from
North and
South America,
Europe, and the
Middle East[3].
Her third book, an edited collection of essays on U.S. author
Bret Easton Ellis, is titled Bret Easton Ellis: American Psycho, Glamorama, Lunar Park[4].
