The Reluctant Fundamentalist

[jmc_bks]

I picked up The Reluctant Fundamentalist because the title intrigued me.  And I've now been sucked in by the narrator, who is speaking directly to someone (an American, he guesses) about how he came to be who and where he is.   Before I started reading, I couldn't figure out how the author was going to make this character (who sympathizes with the 9/11 attackers) sympathetic to an American reader.   Now I'm wondering how I'll feel as the story approaches 9/11 and then moves past.
