| المستخلص: | Several novels have appeared after the September 11 attacks which deal directly or indirectly with the effect of the event on individuals. In most of these novels, the writers focus on Islam and Muslims for being responsible for these attacks. Don DeLillo is an American writer whose novels are concerned with the subject of terrorism. After the terrorist attacks in 2001, he wrote Falling Man which focuses on terrorism, experiences of some survivors and a group of terrorists who are Muslims. This paper is an attempt to analyze the portrayal of Islam and Muslims in Falling Man. It examines the ways in which the novelist has represented Muslims and Islam in his novel and the effects of the September 11 attacks on his representation of Muslim characters. The novel is significant as the novelist has a reputation of authenticity among his audience which increases the credibility of his claims. This novel was published in 2007 and its events center around the psychological and social life of some survivors of that terrorist attacks and the life of a group of terrorists who are Muslims. Terrorism in this novel is attached to Islam and Muslims and Islam is represented as the religion of struggle. This novel, like many other American novels, employ the terrorist attacks and these sad events to strengthen the old Orientalist image of Muslims and to distort the image of Islam as a religion. |
