There are several 9/11 truth thrillers in print. But until now, the only 9/11-truth-themed novel of high literary quality was Thomas Pynchon's Bleeding Edge.

Victoria Alexander's new novel Locus Amoenus is the best fictional treatment of 9/11 yet. It's hilarious, darkly ironic, playful, deeply moving – and stands as an explosive controlled demolition of post-9/11 American culture.

Has 9/11 left us in the position of Shakespeare's Hamlet, who knows but cannot act? I've asked that question more than once - but never as eloquently as Victoria Alexander does in this unforgettable book.
