Terrorist
Terrorist

Evocative journey from radicalism to terrorism.

If contemporary social issues intrigue you, "Terrorist" by John Updike may just be the riveting yet profound read you're looking for. This novel carries you into the depths of a young man's transformation, encapsulated by Updike's signature beautiful prose. As much as it is a tale of one's path to extremism, it's also a subtle exploration of the society that serves as the backdrop for such a journey.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In the frayed urban landscape of New Jersey, one young Muslim makes the journey from radicalism to fundamentalism. What has poisoned his mind against America? And who or what is there to stop him making the final step — into terrorism? John Updike, America's foremost writer on the times we live in, turns his brilliant novelist's gaze on the United States post-9/11 and creates a gripping, searing and meticulously exact portrait of what it means to be alienated and powerless in the early years of the twenty-first century.
