Summary/Abstract: Literary Cartographies and Identity Constructions in Updike’s Terrorist’ examines the patterns of abstract configurations of space and more specific illustrations of urban place of fictional New Prospect, New Jersey and the ways in which they are turned into the fictional shape that the novel Terrorist assumes. These are shaped to make sense of the post – 9/11 interaction between what might be seen as Updike’s 21st century American versions of Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom, but having relevance to perceptions of a world of clashing ideologies.
