John Updike aims to shape the pastiche portrait of the homegrown terrorist (a la Richard Reid, John Walker, even Timothy McVeigh) into something psychologically rich and artistically profound. A lesser writer would have stumbled into threadbare stereotype, but Updike is up to the task, and his novel about Ahmad Mulloy Ashmawy, an angry 18-year-old who falls under the sway of a fundamental Islamic leader, simultaneously captures the seething rage of the alienated youth, and provides a vivid window into a world of shame, hate, and outlandish schemes that could, eventually, come to catastrophic fruition.

Product Description

 
John Updike aims to shape the pastiche portrait of the homegrown terrorist (a la Richard Reid, John Walker, even Timothy McVeigh) into something psychologically rich and artistically profound.

A Review of Terrorist by a Muslim Apostate

by   BaronSamedi3 ,  Apr 7, 2007
Pros: A look into a Muslim mind which is scarily close to real
Cons: So many wasted characters and sideplots
The Bottom Line: It's captivating and as close as you can get to seeing a Muslim's mind without actually becoming a Muslim
Review: Chances are that unless I’ve missed something somewhere, John Updike was never a Muslim. That fact makes his achievement with Terrorist very remarkable. Terrorist is spent almost entirely within the thoughts of an average American Muslim. Granted most ...
