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.
