Pei-chen Liao considers how fiction contributes to the making and remaking of the transnational history of the U.S. by thinking beyond and before 9/11, investigating how the dynamics of memory, as well as the emergent present, influences readers’ reception of historical fiction and alternate history fiction and their interpretation of the past. Set against the historical backdrop of WWII, the Vietnam War, and the War on Terror, the novels under discussion tell Jewish, Japanese, white American, African, Muslim, and Native Americans’ stories of trauma and survival. As a means to transmit memories of past events, these novels demonstrate how multidirectional memory can be not only collective but connective, as exemplified by the echoes that post-9/11 readers hear between different histories of violence that thenovels chronicle, as well as between the past and the present.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | 9/11; alternate history fiction; historical fiction; post-9/11 fiction; contemporary American fiction; tr | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-52492-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-52494-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-52492-0 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
