110 Stories: New York Writes after September 11

New York is a city of writers. And when the city was attacked on 9/11, its writers began to do what writers do: they began to look and feel and think and write, began to struggle to process an event unimaginable before, and even after, it happened. In 110 Stories, Ulrich Baer gathers a multi-hued range of voices that convey, with vivid immediacy and heightened imagination, the shock and loss suffered in September 2001. From a stunning lineup of 110 renowned and emerging writers these stories give readers not so much an analysis of what happened as the very shape and texture of a city in crisis, what it felt like to be here, the external and internal damage that the city and its inhabitants absorbed in the aftermath of a few unforgettable hours.
