Unknown Terrorist The

Richard Flanagan’s devastating parable has drawn international acclaim for brilliantly capturing the post-9/11 world.    In this explosive novel Flanagan holds a mirror to contemporary society and in its terrifying reflection we see the image of the Doll a 26-year-old pole dancer from Sydney―flawed racist obsessed with money―who finds her life suddenly destroyed by her most firm beliefs. Flanagan paints a disturbing picture of a world where the ceaseless drumbeat of terror-alert levels newsbreaks and fear of the unknown pushes everyone ever closer to the breaking point.    The Unknown Terrorist is a tour de force that confirms the masterful storytelling skills and razor-sharp social observations of this multi-award-winning writer.
