9/11 Novels

Netherland by Joseph O'Neill is often grouped with the 9/11 novels.  It's pretty damn good.

following recent thread, I'm not sure there has been a really good
9/11-themed novel. of course Delillo wrote 9/11 novels before 9/11 and
then decided to write a 9/11 novel after and even Falling Man was a
real bland effort. tackling it head on like that as david morris noted
is not a good idea. it's still too fresh and too big an event to do
that.
I did like Matt Ruff's the Mirage, alternate universe take on 9/11
