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. 410 0$aCosterus New Series$v208. 606 $aSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001, in literature 615 0$aSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001, in literature. 676 $a813.6093587393 700 $aMichael$b Magali Cornier$01642887 702 $aBergshoeff$b Aart Jan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815766203321 996 $aNarrative innovation in 9$94037486 997 $aUNINA
