{"product_id":"9781597808507","title":"In the Shadow of the Towers: Speculative Fiction in a Post-9\/11 World","description":"\u003cb\u003e“Powerful and interesting” short fiction inspired by the events of September 11, 2001, by Cory Doctorow, Bruce Sterling, and other award winners (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e How do we continue to dream, imagine, and create in the aftermath of unthinkable tragedy? This moving collection of nearly twenty works of speculative fiction, responding to the terrorist attacks of 9\/11, particularly the destruction of New York’s World Trade Center, draws on talents in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and speculative fiction to confront and grieve, rebuild and survive, rise above and carry on—even in the face of shock and overwhelming emotion.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Reflecting on both individual experiences of the catastrophe and large-scale themes such as politics and morality, a variety of award-winning and bestselling authors, from Jeff VanderMeer (\u003ci\u003eAnnihilation\u003c\/i\u003e) and Cory Doctorow (\u003ci\u003eLittle Brother\u003c\/i\u003e) to Susan Palwick (\u003ci\u003eFlying in Place\u003c\/i\u003e) and James Morrow (\u003ci\u003eTowing Jehovah\u003c\/i\u003e), contribute thoughtful tales about how we respond to fear and loss, both in the moment and over the course of time. Like artists before them who sought to write in response to the Holocaust, the Civil War, and other world-changing historical events, they use the remarkable tool of human imagination to provide a way to process the unimaginable.","brand":"Night Shade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133519937776,"sku":"9781597808507","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781597808507_p0.jpg?v=1763815554","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781597808507","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
