Terrorist

"Updike has...thoroughly digested all of the discursive pap surrounding the post-9/11 threat of terrorism, and that is the real story here. Mullahs, botched CIA gambits, race and class shame (that leads to poor self-worth that leads to vulnerability that leads to extremism), half-baked plots that just might work-all are here, and dispatched with an elegance that highlights their banality and how very real they may be."Updike, John is the author of 'Terrorist ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780345493910 and ISBN 0345493915.
