Telling Terror in Contemporary Australian Fiction

by Tino Dallmann

Overview

This book examines how terrorism as a theme has been represented in Australian post-9/11 novels. It elaborates a distinctively Australian approach in this regard as the novels taken into consideration focus on the terrorism discourse and its inherent strategies of fictionalisation rather than the actual violence of a terrorist attack.
