Terrorism in 1990s novels by Paul Auster, Philip Roth, and Bret Easton Ellis serves as a key trope to interrogate the limits of writing and the power of literature. Based on the thought of Maurice Blanchot, this study explores the writer’s terrorist temptation, literature’s negotiation of radical alterity, and novelistic elucidations of terrorism.
