摘　　要："9·11"恐怖袭击发生后,早期文学作品主要是幸存者和目睹者对灾难的叙述,反映该事件带来的创伤。随着时间的流逝,无论是美国作家,还是第三世界国家的作家,都力图从自己的角度反思恐怖袭击爆发的原因,及其对美国文化和第三世界国家文化的冲击。美国对"9·11"文学的评论,也从最初沉溺于创伤,到后来试图抛弃美国的天真神话、更深刻地审视美国文化的过程。不少评论家从后殖民主义的视角,揭示美国天真神话的虚假性,以及恐怖袭击事件带来的新东方主义倾向。"9·11"文学及评论说明,美国人只有抛弃笃信的天真神话,才能对恐怖袭击有更为客观的认识。The literature immediately after 9 /11 attacks is mainly the narration of the survivors and witnesses,revealing the trauma brought about by the terrorist attacks. With the passage of time,writers from both the U. S. and the Third World attempt to explore the reasons for the terrorist attacks and their impact on American culture as well as the Third World culture. The American criticism on 9 /11 literature also witnesses a change from the indulgence in trauma in the early period to the abandoning of American innocence myth and to a close scrutiny of the American culture in the later period. Many critics,from the perspective of post-colonialism,expose the falsity of American innocence myth and the neo-Orientalism brought about by the terrorist attacks. 9 /11 literature and its criticism demonstrate that only by abandoning the innocence myth that the Americans believe in,can people have a more objective understanding of the terrorist attacks.
