{"product_id":"9783825359300","title":"Ground Zero Fiction: History, Memory, and Representation in the American 9\/11 Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 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 twenty-first century interface between historical and fictional representation, between ethical and aesthetic responsibilities, and between national and transnational formations of identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universitatsverlag Winter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052241142000,"sku":"9783825359300","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783825359300_p0.jpg?v=1763685272","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783825359300","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
