Книга "После Падения. Американская литература с 11 сентября" является своевременным и провокационным исследованием влияния 11 сентября и войны с терроризмом на американскую культуру и литературу. Она представляет первое подробное рассмотрение американской литературы в период кризиса, развивает актуальную и провокационную теорию о литературе и травме, связывает американскую литературу после 11 сентября с важными социальными и историческими изменениями в США и за ее пределами. Кроме того, книга помещает американскую литературу в контекст измененного положения США в мире, характеризующемся политическим, экономическим и военным кризисом, транснациональным дрейфом, возрождением религиозного фундаментализма и видимым триумфом глобального капитализма.
