This book argues that there are a number of contemporary novels that challenge the reductive 'us and them' binaries that have been prevalent not only in politics and the global media since 9/11, but also in many works within the emerging genre of '9/11 fiction' itself.
Daniel O'Gorman is Associate Lecturer in English at Oxford Brookes University, UK. He has published articles on post-9/11 fiction in Textual Practice and Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction, as well as multiple book chapters on Salman Rushdie.
