美国当代作家乔纳森·萨弗兰·福尔的小说《特别响，非常近》是9·11主题小说的代表作之一。该小说以独特的方式探讨灾难、创伤、失语与言说之间关系。灾难导致创伤，创伤导致失语。由于失语，作者又不得不使用非情景化的文字、书信、数字符号、序列图片等方式“言说”主人公的创伤及创伤后艰难的存在。这些作为媒介的“言说”方式增加了小说的历史感和真实感。历史的伤痛导致现实的失语，现实的创伤隐藏着历史的原因。“后9·11”小说在寻找其独特的表达方式。%Contemporary American author Jonathan Saffran Foer’s novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is one of the representatives of “9·11” theme novel. This essay explores the relationship between disaster, trauma, aphasia and expression in a unique way. Disaster caused trauma, trauma resulted in aphasia;because of aphasia, the author had to use non-situational words, numbers, sequence images etc to “speak” the traumatic characters’ difficult existence. Such kind of “speaking”improved the novel’s historical and realistic sense. Realistic aphasia resulted from historical pain, trauma of reality is hidden in historical reasons. “ 9·11” novels are in search of its unique way of expression.
