Less 9/11 Is More 9/11: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and A Day a Night and a Day

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

This essay brings together the novels The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by the Dominican-American writer Junot Díaz and A Day and a Night and a Day by the British writer Glen Duncan as fictional texts that are influenced by the cultural weight of the events of 9/11/2001 without necessarily invoking them directly: 9/11 becomes an almost unspeakable moment. This essay hypothesizes that these novels can be read as part of the cultural production tied to 9/11, not because these novels are about 9/11 per se, but because they are conditioned by the political and cultural discursive practices after 9/11.
