The Association of Small Bombs: A Novel
ISBN: 0525429638 Global Overview for this book
2 journalers for this copy...
While the book doesn’t even remotely condone terrorism, it does provide a nuanced look at the people who commit terrorists and their lives. They are portrayed as humans, rather than monsters, with lives, families, emotions, and reasons for their actions. Similarly, the victims and their families are removed from the realm of caricature, with portrayals that show us the complexities of living with the grief and trauma inflicted by such attacks. And this is probably the biggest strength of this book is that it humanizes all those who are impacted by such attacks, showing us that they aren’t really all that different from ourselves. Through this story, the reader might come to better understand the complex web that binds these people together, and why easy answers to the questions posed by terrorism are unlikely to be helpful.
