New Jerusalems by Daniel Easterman
This collection of essays and occasional pieces have one unifying theme, the making of myth. This book looks at myths such as the Western myth of Islam and the exotic Orient, the Islamic myth of the decadent West, the myth of a plot centred around Salman Rushdie to denigrate the sacred personages of Islam, the utopian myths of fundamentalist preachers and the gurus of the new religious movements, the myth of causes in whose path death is perfect freedom. By the author of "The Seventh Sanctuary".Daniel Easterman was born in Ireland in 1949, was a lecturer at Newcastle University, and is fluent in several languages. Dubbed by ‘The Purloined Letter’ as ‘easily the best thriller writer working today’, he is the author of nine critically acclaimed novels. He also writes full-length ghost stories under the name of Jonathan Aycliffe. He lives in the North of England with his wife.
