The Terror Dream:
Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America
Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America
The Pulitzer Prize- winning author of Stiffed and Backlash examines the post-9/11 outpouring in the media, popular culture, and political life and offers a fiercely original view of ourselves, our history, and the future we may unwittingly be creating.
Susan Faludi is a Pulitzer-Prize- winning journalist and the best-selling author of Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man and Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women, which won the 1992 National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction. A former reporter for The Wall Street Journal, she has written for many publications, including The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Nation. Her new book, The Terror Dream: Fear and Fantasy in Post 9/11 America, is an unflinching dissection of the mind of America after the events in 2001.
