Description: Drawing on trauma theory, genre theory, political theory, and theories of post-modernity, space, and temporality, Literature after 9/11 suggests ways that these often distinct discourses can be recombined and set into dialogue with one another as it explores 9/11's effects on literature and literature's attempts to convey 9/11.
Review Quotes:
'Literature After 9/11 can be seen as a barometer of the vitality of its critical field. In spite of the diversity of the essays, the book never loses sight of its overarching theoretical approach, namely to situate 9/11 and its immediate impact within existing discourses.'- Ulrike Tancke
