New York Is a City of Writers
And when the city was attacked
on 9/11, its writers began to do what writers do...they began to look and feel
and think and write. They began to struggle to process an event unimaginable
before and even after it happened. 110 Stories gathers a multi hued range of
voices that convey, with vivid immediacy and heightened imagination, the shock
and loss suffered in September. From a stunning lineup of renowned and emerging
writers, these stories give readers a sense of the texture of a city in crisis,
what it felt like to live in it, and the external and internal damage that the
city and its inhabitants absorbed in the aftermath of a few unforgettable hours.
Ulrich Baer is Associate Professor of German Literature at New York University. He is the author of several books on the representation of trauma in poetry, literature, and photography.
