REFLECTIONS OF POST-9/11 IN NİLÜFER KUYAŞ’S SERBEST DÜŞÜŞ (FREE FALL): TRAUMA AT THE CROSSROADS

Abstract

Reflections and effects of September 11 attacks were not spread just throughout America. Flash news of the events was covered at the same time in America and in other countries and Turkey was one of these countries that witnessed the events live miles away. Regarding the aftermath, there are several books that deal with 9/11 attacks and the War on Terror written by Turkish scholars or politicians yet there are not many works of fiction written about that day in Turkish literature. Nilüfer Kuyaş’s Serbest Düşüş is a good example among the few novels written after 9/11 and it contributes to the post-9/11 novel genre with the view of a Turkish author. Within the framework of post-9/11, this paper will analyse Serbest Düşüş through the aspects of cities, disasters and traumascapes.
