eng	Overcoming Silence and Fear: The Theme of Trauma in Coming-of-Age Novels	In recent decades, the findings of trauma studies have been used in analyzing literary texts depicting trauma. While most critical attention is paid to the so-called historical or collective trauma (such as the Holocaust) and its long-time effects on survivors, the paper will center its attention on individual trauma, traumatic memory and its connection to identity formation. Analyzing several recent coming-of-age novels, the paper will address the issues of child abuse and/or neglect and its effects on the formation of the adult self as well as on the textual means of writing the trauma.
