will be held March 20-21, 2009 at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb,
Illinois.

Since 9/11, there has been a call for authors to legitimately represent the
attack on New York City. Several texts, including but not limited to
William Gibson’s Pattern Recognition (2003) and Jess Walter’s The Zero
(2006), utilize the 9/11 attacks as a psychological framework within genre
fiction to highlight the (in)stabilization, negotiation, and fragmentation
of individuals in society, while Don DeLillo’s Falling Man (2007) offers a
more literary attempt at directly representing 9/11.

Please note that the submission deadline for the St. John's University
English Graduate Conference is January 15, 2009, NOT 2008 as stated on
the original CFP.
