Vickroy (English, Bradley U.) explores how contemporary fiction represent trauma, which she defines as a response to events so intense that they impair normal emotional or cognitive processes and generate lasting psychological disruption. Though trauma literature may be uncomfortable for readers, she says it provides insight into the ethical function of literature; cultural assumptions about identity, relationality, and intentionality; factors determining how and if people survive devastations; and other matters.
