Summary
Samuel Cohen asserts the literary and historical importance of the period between the fall of the Berlin wall and that of the Twin Towers in New York. He examines six 1990s novels and two post-9/11 novels that explore the impact of the end of the Cold War. Cohen emphasizes how these works reconnect the past to a present that is ironically keen on denying that connection. --from publisher description
