Book Synopsis The Second Plane by : Martin Amis

Download or read book The Second Plane written by Martin Amis and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-04-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays about 9/11 that constitute an evolving, provocative, and insightful examination of one of the most momentous events of our time—from "one of the most gifted novelists of his generation” (Time). At the heart of this collection is the long essay “Terror and Boredom,” an unsparing analysis of Islamic fundamentalism and the West's flummoxed response to it, while other pieces address the invasion of Iraq, the realities of Iran, and Tony Blair's lingering departure from Downing Street (and also his trips to Washington and Iraq). Whether lambasted for his refusal to kowtow to Muslim pieties or hailed for his common sense, wide reading, and astute perspective, Amis is indisputably a great pleasure to read—informed, elegant, surprising—and this collection a resounding contemplation of the relentless, manifold dangers we live with in the twenty-first century.
