Download In the Shadow of the Towers: Speculative Fiction in a Post-9/11 World AudioBook Free
In the Shadow of the Towers compiles almost 20 works of speculative fiction giving an answer to and influenced by the happenings of 9/11, from writers seeking to confront, rebuild, and keep on, even in the face of overwhelming emotion. Writer and editor Douglas Lain reveals a thought-provoking anthology featuring a variety of award-winning and best-selling authors, from Jeff VanderMeer (Annihilation) and Cory Doctorow (Little Sibling) to Susan Palwick (Soaring in Place) and James Morrow (Towing Jehovah). Touching on themes or templates as wide-ranging as politics, morality, and even heartfelt nostalgia, today's speculative fiction writers confirm that the rubric of the fantastic offers an matchless view into how exactly we react to tragedy. Each contributor, in his / her own way, contemplates the same question: How can we continue dreaming in the shadow of the towers?
