At Last, the Essential 9/11 Novel

Online, July 8, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The South Tower as narrator? That's the conceit which renders Paul A. Toth's Airplane Novel the only 9/11 novel worth reading. Airplane Novel sheers events from sentimentality, cliche and fixed memory. Through an almost cubist mural of words, the novel releases 9/11 to the future, just as remnants of the Twin Towers live today in new Manhattan structures. Indeed, the South Tower serves as the ultimate spectator of its own spectacle.

The Midwest Book Review named Airplane Novel a "Reviewer's Choice" and stated, "Toth is a unique, gifted stylist whose prose is at times sharp, unpredictable, humorous and always engaging. There have been a lot of books about 9/11, but I promise you none like this." Bookgasm proclaims, "Toth is undeniably talented and has all the makings of a notable force in contemporary fiction."

On a truly-newsworthy note, Airplane Novel disproves what was, until now, USA Today's accurate headline, "Novels About 9/11Can't Stack Up to Nonfiction," and exposes Book-reporter.com's statement in the same article as a ludicrous excuse: "We don't need to create stories around the event. There were enough stories there from the start." So much for All Quiet on the Western Front!

Every historical event demand its own dissections and reflections, illuminating infinite perspectives and creating the wide-open spaces of history. That was the goal set for Airplane Novel, and that goal has been met. Airplane Novel is not 9/11; Airplane Novel is 9/11.
