| Rezumat: | Don DeLillo’s Falling Man, published in New York in 2007, and Ian McEwan’s Saturday, published in London in 2005, were both created out of the need to respond to the uneasiness that characterizes the consciousness of twenty-first century citizens who were the witnesses of terrorist events that simply defied representation and understanding within the Western cultural imagination. Set in New York, DeLillo’s text presents the American perspective, whereas Saturday, set in London, gives shape to the British perspective on the same reality, with the difference between the two being derived from Britain’s geographical distance from the actual site of the attacks and its familiarity with terrorist incidents on national soil (IRA) (Cilano 25). |
