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.

This book explores the ways in which transnational fiction in the post-9/11 era can intervene in discourse surrounding the "war on terror" to advocate for marginalised perspectives. Trauma and Fictions of the "War on Terror" conceptualises global political discourse about the "war on terror" as incongruous, with transnational memory frames instituted in Western nations centralising 9/11 as uniquely traumatic, excluding the historical and present-day experiences of Afghans under Western—specifically American—hegemonic violence. Recent developments in trauma studies explain how dominant Western trauma theory participates in this exclusion, failing to account for the ongoing suffering common to non-Western, colonial, and postcolonial contexts. O’Brien explores how Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner), Nadeem Aslam (The Wasted Vigil, The Blind Man’s Garden), and Kamila Shamsie (Burnt Shadows) represent marginalised perspectives in the context of the "war on terror".

"Extending the study of post-9/11 literature to include transnational perspectives, this book explores the ways in which contemporary writers from Europe as well as the USA have responded to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the ensuing "war on terror." Transatlantic Fictions of 9/11 and the War on Terror demonstrates the ways in which contemporary fiction has wrestled with anxieties about national and international security in the 21st century. Reading a wide range of novels by such writers as Amy Waldman, Michael Cunningham, Frďřic Beigbeder, Ian McEwan, Joseph O'Neill, Moshin Hamid, Jos ̌Saramago, Ricardo Menňdez Salmn̤, J.M. Coetzee, and Salman Rushdie, Susana Araj︢o︣ explores how the rhetoric of the "war on terror" has shaped recent representations of the city and how "security" discourses circulate both transatlantically and transnationally. By focussing not only on 9/11 but on the way subsequent events such as the wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq are represented in fiction, this book demonstrates how notions of "terror" and "insecurity" have been absorbed, critiqued, or reworked by novelists from the US and Europe as well as by writers whose work focusses on the role of transatlantic relations as part of wider pressures and global configurations of power."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

"The fictionalized stories in this book are all based a fair bit upon real experiences during my reporting on the Global War on Terror over the last decade and a half. The actual reportage - from places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, North Africa, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines - has appeared in magazines from National Geographic to Vanity Fair to The New York Times Magazine, among others. Still, by necessity of creating a magazine-length story, I have had to leave some narrative tangents and other aspects of this reporting out. Some of these narratives left behind, in a now fictionalized form, are contained in the book you hold in your hands. Many have sacrificed in this post-September 11th world. Their stories deserve to be told." - Page 9.

The war on terror has been raging for many years now, and subsequently there is a growing body of literature examining the development, motivation and effects of this US-led aggression. Virtually absent from these accounts is an examination of the central role that gender, race, class and sexuality play in the war on terror. This lack of attention reflects a continued resistance by analysts to acknowledge and engage identity-related social issues as central elements within global politics. As this conflict spreads and deepens, it is more important than ever to examine how diverse international actors are using the war on terror as an opportunity to reinforce existing gendered, raced, classed and sexualized inter/national relations. This book examines the official war stories being told to the international community about why and against whom the war on terror is being waged. The book will benefit students, scholars and practitioners in the areas of international relations, women's studies and cultural studies.

Historical writing and fiction are not the same thing, though historians often creatively manipulate material in imposing plot structures, selecting starting and ending points, and fashioning compelling literary characters from historical figures. In Docu-Fictions of War, Tatiana Prorokova argues that the opposite is also true--war fiction offers a kind of history that both documents its subjects and provides a snapshot of the cultural representation of the United States' most recent military involvements. She covers a largely neglected body of cinematic and literary texts about the First Gulf War, the Balkan War, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War to open a fresh analysis of cultural texts on war. Prorokova contends that these texts are not pure fiction, but "docu-fictions"--works of imagination that can document their subjects while disclosing the social, political, and historical link between war and culture during the last three decades. Docu-Fictions of War analyzes how these representational narratives have highlighted a humanitarian rationale behind American involvement in each war, whether the stated goals were to free the oppressed from tyranny, stop genocide, or rid the world of terrorism. The book explores the gap between history--what allegedly happened--and the cultural mythology that is both true and inexact, tangible and sensed, recognized and undocumented.

A terrorist takedown in the Philippines and a criminal investigation on the other side of the world put Special Forces operators Ed Storey and Lee Troy and FBI Special Agent Beth Royale on the track of an Al Qaeda plot to kill the US president on an overseas trip. With action racing across the globe from Bangkok to Pakistan, the evidence eventually points to a terrorist attack on US soil—and an entirely different target. Washington, DC, was burned to the ground during the War of 1812. Unless the three agents move fast, it might just happen again.

As the events of 11 September 2001 and their aftermath influence new developments in spy fiction as a popular genre, an examination of these literary narratives concerned with espionage and terrorism can reshape our approach to non-fictive representations of the same concerns. Post-9/11 Espionage Fiction in the US and Pakistan examines post-9/11 American spy fictions alongside Pakistani novels that draw upon many of the same figures, tropes, and conventions. As the Pakistani texts re-place spy fiction’s conventions, they offer another vantage point from which to view the affective appeals common to these conventions’ usual deployment in American texts. This book argues that the appropriation by Pakistani writers of these conventions insistently tracks how the formulaic and popular nature of post-9/11 American espionage thrillers forwards and reinforces "appropriate" affective responses, often linked to domestic sites and relations, to "terrorism." It also analyses and compares American and Pakistani representations of the twinned figures of the spy (or his proxy) and the "terrorist," a term frequently conflated with fundamentalist. The insights of these analyses can serve as interpretive interruptions of non-fictive representations of Pakistani-US "war on terror" relations. Offering an innovative analysis of the reflection of narrative conventions in our view of the real-life events, this book will attract scholars with an interest in Pakistani literature, Postcolonial literature, Asian Studies and Terrorism studies.
