Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore this consonance in greater detail, and then to present two more particular examples of this narrative and poethic "strategy." The first example is given by two attempts to provide some kind of juristic redress for the various atrocities suffered across southeast Europe during the successive Balkan wars of the 1990s. The second approaches the broader, and no less contemporary, experience of trans-national terrorism. In the first instance, the form of narrative, on both occasions, is that of a chronicle-a piece of extended journalism. In the second instance, the narrative is a more familiar piece of literature, a canon indeed of the modern novel-two rather different texts, but one common aspiration.
