Contributions d'universitaires et de critiques européens autour des romans et nouvelles américains traitant des attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Les images de la destruction du World Trade Center, ou des personnes se jetant dans le vide, diffusées par les actualités télévisées, sont analysées à travers le traitement fictionnel qu'en font Don DeLillo, Joseph O'Neill, Colum McCann ou John Updike.

A decade after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, over 160 novels by U.S.-American writers have re-enacted or revised the day we now call ‘9/11’. This study systematically charts the rich subgenre of Ground Zero Fiction by exploring its formal, structural, thematic, and functional dimensions. In a combination of typological survey and detailed analysis, both familiar texts (by Jonathan Safran Foer, Don DeLillo, or John Updike) and lesser-known approaches (by writers such as Karen Kingsbury, Laila Halaby, Nicholas Rinaldi, Helen Schulman, or Ronald Sukenick) are investigated for their specific engagements with contemporary history. The American 9/11 novel, this volume argues, not only provides a productive testing ground for narrative crisis management, but it serves as an exemplary twenty-first century interface between historical and fictional representation, between ethical and aesthetic responsibilities, and between national and transnational formations of identity.
