Opis

Extending the study of post-9/11 literature to include transnational perspectives, this book explores the ways in which contemporary writers from Europe as well as the USA have responded to the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the ensuing 'war on terror.' Transatlantic Fictions of 9/11 and the 'War on Terror' demonstrates the ways in which contemporary fiction has wrestled with anxieties about national and international security in the 21st century. Reading a wide range of novels by such writers as Michael Cunningham, Fr d ric Beigbeder, Ian McEwan, Moshin Hamid, Jose Saramago and J.M. Coetzee, Susana Ara jo explores how disaster fantasies, fuelled by the rhetoric of the 'war on terror,' circulate transatlantically. By focusing not only on 9/11 but on the way subsequent events such as the wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq are represented in these novels, the book demonstrates how discourses of (in)security have been critiqued or reworked by novelists from both the US and Europe.
