And how might such a shift, reflected in narrative strategies and forms, relate to other themes and trends emerging with the globalization of literature? This book pursues these questions through works written in the wake of 9/11 and examines the complex intersection of ethics and narrative that has defined a significant portion of British and American fiction over the past decade.Don DeLillo, Pat Barker, Aleksandar Hemon, Lorraine Adams, Michael Cunningham, and Patrick McGrath are among theNarrative ethics and literary culture after 9/11American fiction21st centuryHistory and criticismSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001, in literatureSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001InfluenceEthics in literaturePsychoanalysis in literatureSocial change in literatureLiterature and moralsLiterature and societyUnited StatesAmerican fictionHistory and criticism.September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001, in literature.September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001Influence.Ethics in literature.Psychoanalysis in literature.Social change in literature.Literature and morals.Literature and society813/.6093587393Banita Georgiana1723676MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822470103321Plotting justice4125130UNINA
