Opis: Atlantic Books 2007 str. 328 stan bdb- ISBN 978-1-84354-598-9 Richard Flanagan's previous novels, including Gould's Book of Fish, have been some of the most acclaimed works of fiction in recent years. Now he delivers an exhilarating and ferocious thriller that asks the question, what would you do if you turned on the television and saw you were the most wanted terrorist in the country? Gina Davies is a 26-year-old pole dancer in Sydney. She's a flawed woman, racist and obsessed with money, who knows her role in a world built on deception: the dancers pretend to be excited, the men pretend that the women aren't pretending. But on the night after three unexploded bombs are discovered at a local stadium, Gina has a one-night stand with an attractive stranger. The next day, she has become a prime suspect in the investigation of an attempted terrorist attack. Now a wanted person, Davies witnesses every truth of her life twisted into a betrayal as she endures trial by an increasingly hysterical media. Suddenly, Gina's world of small, familiar deceptions has imploded into one where lies are out to destroy her. The Unknown Terrorist is a relentless tour de force that paints a devastating picture of a contemporary society made irrational by anxiety, where the ceaseless drumbeat of terror-alert levels, newsbreaks, and fear of the unknown pushes one nation ever closer to the breaking point.
