{"product_id":"tragedy-since-911-jennifer-wallace-9781350035614","title":"Tragedy Since 9\/11: Reading a World out of Joint","description":"From the trauma of September 11th, through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to the aftermath of the Arab Spring and the environmental warning signs of climate change, this book reflects on the crises and terrifying events of the early 21st century and argues that a knowledge of tragedy from the works of Sophocles to Shakespeare to Samuel Beckett can help us understand them.
