English professor Jeffrey Gonzalez publishes an article on 9/11 representations in fiction

Jeffrey Gonzalez, an associate professor of English, has published an article in the peer-reviewed journal “Studies in American Fiction.” His essay, “Falling Women and Empty Skies: Returning to 9/11 in Fiction by Daniel Alarcon, Claire Vaye Watkins, and Ottessa Moshfegh,” analyzes the unusual decision made by each author to feature 9/11 content on their very last page while otherwise not addressing the tragedy. The article places these three works within the broader history of 9/11 representation in fiction and covers debates about the ethics of covering the terror attacks.
