But - at least seen from Europe - the American novel of the last
couple of decades, and perhaps especially after 9/11, has grown
increasingly provincial. The muted and claustrophobic "Falling Man"
as a response to the global tremors of 9/11? How strange is that!

The world is a distant rumour in much recent American fiction.

Might this be the reason someone (forget the name) on the Nobel committee 
said that no American writer would receive the Prize for Literature, because 
they were too provincial, too focused on America?
