9/11, as it was metonymically abbreviated, was marked by visuality. Although several novelists have written literature surrounding the attacks on the World Trade Center, many have circumvented some of the pivotal components of September 11th. To create a holistic literary product, there are three vital elements to be accounted for: the aspect of visuality, the victims confusion and grief, and the aspect of a rehabilitative community. Jonathan Safran Foers novel "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" is a unique and stylisticallydistinctive representation of the 9/11 event. Foers use of verbal avoidance strategies point to the utter confusion and grief of trauma victims. His use of multimodality, an alternative formatting strategy that implements differing fonts and photographs, speaks to the highly visual aspect of September 11th. Also, Foer emphasizes the importance of building a community in the midst of a traumatized individuals fragmentation of reality and his/her personal grief. Therefore, Foers novel is one of the few to fully encapsulate the aesthetic quality of September 11th while also accounting for the victims grief and their restorative process through community.
