Richard Flanagan,the author of "Gould?s Book of Fish" returns with his newest novel, "The Unknown Terrorist". Set in Australia, "The Unknown Terrorist" follows five days in the life of "The Doll", a pole dancer. "The Doll" only wants to have a good life, like the lives she sees portrayed in the media, nice clothes, a posh apartment, and the right furniture. A chance encounter with a foreigner, Turiq, turns her life on its head, and she begins to question the life that she knows and the life that is being portrayed in the media. After a romantic encounter with Turiq, "The Doll" awakens to discover that the police
and the media are searching for him as a terrorist suspect. A grainy photo of her with Turiq during their brief romantic interlude is blown out of proportion by the media, and soon the police are looking for the "unknown terrorist" accomplice. A true page-turner, "The Unknown Terrorist" is a scathing critique of a media and a government that foster a culture of fear over truth. Absolutely brilliant and quite terrifying!
