Transnational Politics in the Post-9/11 Novel suggests that
literature after September 11, 2001 reflects the shift from
bilateral nation-state politics to the multilateralism of
transnational politics. While much of the criticism regarding
novels of 9/11 tends to approach these works through theories of
personal and collective trauma, this book argues for the evolution
of a post-9/11 novel that pursues a transversal approach to global
conflicts that are unlikely to be resolved without diverse peoples
willing to set aside sectarian interests. These novels embrace not
only American writers such as Don DeLillo, Dave Eggers, Ken Kalfus,
Thomas Pynchon, and Amy Waldman but also the countervailing
perspectives of global novelists such as J. M. Coetzee, Orhan
Pamuk, Mohsin Hamid, and Laila Halaby. These are not novels about
terror(ism), nor do they seek comfort in the respectful cloak of
national mourning. Rather, they are instances of the novel in
terror, which recognizes that everything having been changed after
9/11, only the formally inventive presentation will suffice to
acknowledge the event's unpresentability and its shock to the
political order.
