This article explores the metaphor of the novel as the actual “space” for creative expression to take place. It is “space” affected by social and technological developments, employed to “house” global concerns and perspectives. In this article, I intend to investigate the ways in which Teju Cole, an American writer of Nigerian descent, communicates his concerns to his audience and explores questions about crises and debates, responding to social, cultural, and technological challenges of the twenty-first century both in print and electronic spaces. In particular, I investigate the ways in which Cole employs both narrative fiction and Social Media as political space in order to comment on twenty-first century events like 9/11, global terrorism, and a renewed wave of racism. Key-words: narrative, social media, political, activist, 9/11 |
