“It is the pain that brings us together”. Approach through loss in
September. Fata Morgana by Thomas Lehr
This paper analyses the German novel "September Fata Morgana” by
Thomas Lehr. It aims to compare the forms of pain and loss in a german
family in the USA and an iraqi family during the 9/11 and the war in Iraq.
It examines further the common consequences of loosing close family
members with no political interests and how this loss can seed a new era of
understanding and enabling the dialogue between opposing cultures. And
this dialogue leads to re-evaluate the Theory „Clash of Civilisations“ by
Samuel P. Huntington.
