Meer over het boek

The thesis explores the profound impact of the events of September 11, 2001, on American literature, highlighting the struggle of writers to address such a pivotal moment in history. It argues that reality has become so overwhelming that it challenges the boundaries of fiction, making it difficult for authors to create narratives that resonate. The work delves into the themes of trauma and the limitations of storytelling in the face of contemporary crises, reflecting on how literature grapples with the aftermath of significant national events.
