"DeLillo's writing has been concerned, from its inception, with thinking about how fiction has developed from the end of the Second World War. This book reads the whole of Don DeLillo's oeuvre to date - from Americana to Cosmopolis - and asks how far his writing can be thought of as an enactment of the possibilities of literary fiction in contemporary global culture "This is the first book to offer a reading of DeLillo's complete oeuvre in the light of 9/11, and of the new global power relations that have come about in the wake of the attacks. In reading DeLillo's ambivalent engagement with globalisation, and with global terrorism, Peter Boxall suggests ways in which his writing might help us to think about the possibilities of fiction in the post-9/11 global context."--Jacket "DeLillo's writing has been concerned, from its inception, with thinking about how fiction has developed from the end of the Second World War.
