| Abstract | "Examines four major novels - Safran Foer's Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2005), Updike's Terrorist (2006), DeLillo's Falling Man (2007), and Waldman's The Submission (2011) - through the conceptual framework of a "new" so-called Great American Novel oeuvre. The author demonstrates a concerted effort by these writers to address the "Muslim Question" in novels that feature and critique traumatized white Americans creating mechanisms with which to mitigate the trauma of 9/11 as it resurges at even the thought of Muslims existing in America after 9/11"-- Provided by publisher. |
