9/11 and the Literature of Terror

9/11 and the Literature of Terror analyses the various representations of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 in the US in a wide selection of novels, short stories, poems and plays. Randall provides the reader with a discussion of the tropes, narratives and styles that may emerge as authors, journalists, playwrights and poets “write on’ from the event itself. The growing number of films, documentaries and TV shows that have investigated the events of 9/11 are also examined, as well as other texts such as autobiographical essays, journalistic features and political polemics.
