The American Nightmare: Don Delillo'S Falling Man And Cormac Mccarthy's The Road

The American Nightmare: Don DeLillo's Falling Man and Cormac McCarthy's The Road presents an extensive analysis of two novels by the two most prominent contemporary American writers. The book searches into the stylistic and linguistic complexities of those two post-9/11 novels and explores the ways in which they respond to the public discourse produced in the aftermath of the event. Sözalan's reading of the texts offer valuable insights into the inscription of ideology in literary works which simultaneously reinstate and resist its hegemony.
