Post-9/11 Espionage Fiction in the US and Pakistan

- Spies and "Terrorists"

Om Post-9/11 Espionage Fiction in the US and Pakistan

Post-9/11 Espionage Fiction in the US and Pakistan examines post-9/11 American spy fictions alongside Pakistani novels that draw upon many of the same figures, tropes, and conventions. As the Pakistani texts re-place spy fiction¿s conventions, they offer another vantage point from which to view the affective appeals common to these conventions¿ usual deployment in American texts. This book argues that the appropriation by Pakistani writers of these conventions insistently tracks how the formulaic and popular nature of post-9/11 American espionage thrillers forwards and reinforces "appropriate" affective responses, often linked to domestic sites and relations, to "terrorism."
