Waldman's debut imagines a blind competition for a 9/11 memorial whose anonymous winner turns out to be Mohammad Khan, a secular Muslim American architect, triggering a media firestorm.
A polyphonic, propulsive novel built for debate about the manufactured panic and the demand that Muslims "prove" their innocence. (Non-Muslim author, included for its illumination of the machinery of Islamophobia.)
