About this product
Product Information
Post-9/11 fiction reflects how the September 11, 2001 attacks have influenced our concept of public space, from urban behaviour patterns to architecture and urban movement. Through close readings of novels from both sides of the Atlantic, this analysis of the literary 21st century metropolis explores the fictional post-9/11 city as a global space not defined or contained by its physical limits.

Reviews
"To add meaningfully to the already vast and ever growing body of scholarly work on the literature of 9/11 is a call of tall order. From the early treatments of key fictions such as Kristiaan Versluys's Out of the Blue (2009) to encyclopedic compendiums such as Birgit Däwes's Ground Zero Fiction (2011) and the numerous recent thematically focused analyses, scholars have turned to theories of trauma and of the spectacle, to the figure of the Other, to the transatlantic comparisons, and to the global geopolitical context to explain what sense contemporary Anglophone writers have made of the 9/11 terrorist attack and its ongoing reverberations in the early twentieth century. Karolina Golimowska is well-versed in, and capitalizes on, all these approaches, but she also manages to productively refocus the scholarly discussion of this body of work. ... Following these twenty-first century flaneurs with Golimowska, the readers not only recognize New York City and London convulsed into daily rituals of vehement othering already familiar from previous studies of post-9/11 fiction but also rediscover them as open cities, as the cosmopolises they have always been, only even more so, paradoxically, in the wake of 9/11. This new focus allows Golimowska to broaden the scholarly purview by including less familiar novels, or novels not usually discussed in the 9/11 context, and to offer fresh interpretations of the well-studied texts."-- Journal of American Culture, "this book is a useful addition to studies of the contemporary metropolis in literature, especially in relation to trauma studies and post-9/11 studies"-- Ethnic & Third World Literatures Review of Books ., "this book is a useful addition to studies of the contemporary metropolis in literature, especially in relation to trauma studies and post-9/11 studies"-- Ethnic & Third World Literatures Review of Books

The book is a new copy (as I ordered). Arrived within the frame time. There was no way to track the shipping (which was annoying but I didn't try to contact the seller). The book was packaged in a secure envelope which protected it.
