Ian McEwan’s novel Saturday details about 9/11 attack and its impact on people. Henry Perowne is the protagonist of this novel. Perowne was affected psychologically by the incident of Twin tower attack. McEwan has linked twin tower attack in his novel Saturday on World War Trade Center. Writing about traumatic experience helps one to decline the shock and motivate the human being forced to a painful experience to produce further. The sudden attack in America were highly disturbing for the, and their immediate and after effect led to a study on trauma at a fictional level. McEwan points out the occurrence of terrorism in its global dimension through his male protagonist Perowne, by interpreting the events that happened on that particular Saturday.
