terrorist versus the reluctant fundamentalist
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 7:53 pmupdike takes on fundamentalism with his usual tropes. Mohsin hamid starts with his own background of pakistan and princeton and goes from there. Hamid is no updike. And updike was a young guy once seeking ultimate truths. So updike wins on prose and empathy. Hamids book once it leaves management consultancy seems flimsy . Updike doesnt quite get being not white.
