Summary/Abstract: New narratives and new stylistic choices have emerged, connected to the 21st-century disillusionment with the ideals of safety, security, and moral clarity that once used to be taken for granted. The book “Transatlantic Literature and Culture after 9/11: The Wrong Side of Paradise”, edited by Kristine A. Miller, is an academic collection of essays that brings together some studies which interrogate the complex ways in which 9/11 has been represented and processed within literature and culture. Life post 9/11 collective trauma perpetuates an intensified sense of crisis and vulnerability in a disorienting world. The volume has a transatlantic approach, bridging American and European viewpoints.
