Ground Zero Fiction: History, Memory, and Representation in the American 9/11 Novel (American Studies - a Monograph Series, 208)

Birgit Däwes

4.9/5 (22726 ratings)

Description:A decade after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, over 160 novels by U. S.-American writers have re-enacted or revised the day we now call 9/11. This study systematically charts the rich subgenre of Ground Zero Fiction by exploring its formal, structural, thematic, and functional dimensions. In a combination of typological survey and detailed analysis, both familiar texts (by Jonathan Safran Foer, Don DeLillo, or John Updike) and lesser-known approaches (by writers such as Karen Kingsbury, Laila Halaby, Nicholas Rinaldi, Helen Schulman, or Ronald Sukenick) are investigated for their specific engagements with contemporary history. The American 9/11 novel, this volume argues, not only provides a productive testing ground for narrative crisis management, but it serves as an exemplary 21st-century interface between historical and fictional representation, between ethical and aesthetic responsibilities, and between national and transnational formations of identity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
