Osama: A Novel by Lavie Tidhar
Joe, a private detective, is hired by a mysterious woman to find a man: the obscure author of pulp fiction novels featuring Osama Bin Laden: vigilante. Joe's quest takes him across the world, but one question still haunts him: who is he, really, and how much of the books are fiction.‘Not a writer to mess around with half measures… brings to mind Philip K Dick’s seminal science fiction novel The Man in the High Castle’ -- The Guardian
* The Guardian *Lavie Tidhar was in Dar-es-Salaam during the American embassy bombings in 1998, and stayed in the same hotel as the Al Qaeda operatives in Nairobi. Since then he and his now-wife have narrowly avoided both the 2005 London, King’s Cross and 2004 Sinai attacks—experiences that led to the creation of Osama. He is the author of many novels, including the Bookman trilogy and is a prolific short story writer.
