Naydan<br />suggests that after 9/11, fiction by Mohsin Hamid, Laila Halaby, Philip Roth, Don<br />DeLillo, John Updike, and Barbara Kingsolver dramatizes and works to resolve impasses<br />that exist between believers of different kinds at the extremes. These impasses emerge<br />out of the religious paradox that shapes America as simultaneously theocratic and<br />secular, and they exist, for instance, between liberals and fundamentalists, between<br />liberals and certain evangelicals, between fundamentalists and artists, and between<br />fundamentalists of different varieties. Ultimately, Naydan argues that these authors<br />function as literary theologians of sorts and forge a relevant space beyond or between<br />extremes. They fashion faith or lack thereof as hybridized and hence as a negotiation<br />among secularism, atheism, faith, fundamentalism, and fanaticism. In so doing, they<br />invite their readers into contemplations of religious difference and new ways of<br />memorializing 9/11.</p>...2470428Rhetorics of Religion in American Fiction17531948https://www.gandhi.com.mx/rhetorics-of-religion-in-american-fiction-9781611487442/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2208231/5f133c27-bf2c-4a69-a4b7-e2283472ecda.jpg?v=638914878079070000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169781611487442_W3siaWQiOiIzZTRhZGRiNi02MWNjLTQ2OTktYWYzNi05YjAxYzdmZTliZjAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE5NDgsImRpc2NvdW50IjoxOTUsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MTc1MywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDgtMjJUMTc6MDA6MDBaIiwidG8iOiIyMDI1LTA5LTMwVDIzOjU5OjU5WiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9LHsiaWQiOiI3ZDlkNzVhYi03YjA4LTQxZjctODA3Ny01OTYxN2UwZWVkMjciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE4MjksImRpc2NvdW50IjoxODMsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MTY0NiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMTAtMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781611487442_<p><em>Rhetorics of Religion in American Fiction</em> considers the way in which contemporary<br />American authors address the subject of belief in the post-9/11 Age of Terror.
