  In the aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks, the political situation in both the United States and abroad has often been described as a 'state of exception': a situation in which the normal rule of law is suspended. This book investigates the aesthetics, ethics, and politics of decisions in post-9/11 contemporary fiction.
