когда мне выдали билет
из врат небесных,напутствуя:
-ну что ж,иди - живи...
багаж мой был:следы от бывших
крыльев,
и свежий шрам посеянной души.
и не было проклятий или гнева -
к чему роптать на собственных
детей...
и мой исход,конечно,не был первым-
за горьким опытом пожить среди людей...
и Ты,спасибо,отпустил - но не оставил.... >>

Описание: Terrorist by John Updike is a timely piece of contemporary literature that is well-written and dense with observation and description. Updike takes readers into the mind of a terrorist and helps us understand the possible motivation and mindset of those involved in terrorism. Terrorist is an important piece of social literature, but it is not light or easy reading. It is slow at points and requ...

In an afterword written more than two decades later, the author expressed her dissatisfaction with the book's language and structure: "It required a sophistication unavailable to me."
