\n
The course explores a number of novels which have been published since 9\/11. The argument for targeting this body of texts derives from the notion that the contemporary or the \u201cnow\u201d of the United States dates from this event. The course attempts to describe the form of the novel in contemporary US writing, the manner in which it reflects the present moment in US history and the way it engages the challenges of present reality.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
