The Second Plane

Published in 2008, Martin Amis's The Second Plane is a collection of fictional and non-fictional pieces centered on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It's an interesting premise, however many of Amis's pieces are quite odd — as for example when he creates a fictional story that imagines the preparations of the 9/11 attackers — and Amis has only a superficial understanding of Islam and Islamic fundamentalism.
