摘要：

The article discusses the effect of a rambling discourse on the reader's reaction to Mohsin Hamid's novel The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007), which explores the personal trauma caused by the 9/11 terroristic attacks. The features of trauma fiction are briefly introduced to determine those that are evident in Hamid's text, which exposes identity problems and search for the answers to existential questions. Such issues as the deterioration of the American Dream, fight against American idols, strained relationship between East and West, prejudices that rule the American society and inward transformation are the main ones in the discussion of the personal trauma.
