This study demonstrates how certain novels create narratives about the 9/11 attacks that refuse to shy away from exploring and representing their difficult and problematic aspects and, in fact, insist on doing so as the only means of coming to terms with the events in all their cultural and historical specificity. As such, these texts implicitly advocate a notion of literature as a dynamic negotiation of the relationship between aesthetics, ethics, politics, culture, and history. Indeed, they assert and reassert the viability of literature as a mode of critical inquiry that can engage and contribute to the socio-political debates of its time and to the construction of narratives about significant historical and cultural events.Costerus New Series208.September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001, in literatureElectronic books.September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001, in literature.813.6093587393Michael Magali Cornier919415Bergshoeff Aart JanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459670603321Narrative innovation in 92272400UNINA
