Unspeakable: Literature and Terrorism from the Gunpowder Plot to
9/11 explores the representation of terrorism in plays, novels, and
films across the centuries. Time and time again, writers and
filmmakers including William Shakespeare, Joseph Conrad, Henry
James, Gillo Pontecorvo, Don DeLillo, John Updike, and Steven
Spielberg refer to terrorist acts as beyond comprehension, "a deed
without a name," but they do not stop there. Instead of creating
works that respond to terrorism by providing comforting narratives
reassuring audiences and readers of their moral superiority and the
perfidy of the terrorists, these writers and filmmakers confront
the unspeakable by attempting to see the world from the terrorist's
perspective and by examining the roots of terrorist violence.
