Novels about 9/11 can't stack up to non-fiction

Six years after the twin towers fell, enough non-fiction has been published about Sept. 11, 2001, to fill an entire section of a bookstore: 1,036 titles, according to Books in Print. But novels inspired by 9/11 could fit on one shelf. There are only about 30, and none has seized the public imagination.

- The reality of 9/11 still more compelling


Don DeLillo's Falling Man, which was released in May, has sold 39,000 copies so far.
