About the Author:
From AudioFile:
RICHARD FLANAGAN was born in Longford, Tasmania, in 1961. His novels—Death of a River Guide, The Sound of One Hand Clapping and Gould’s Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish (winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Overall Best Book)—have been published in 26 countries. He also directed the feature film of The Sound of One Hand Clapping and most recently collaborated with director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge) on the screenplay of Luhrmann’s forthcoming epic, Australia.
How could a pole dancer be mistaken for a terrorist? Richard Flanagan makes a pretty convincing argument in his novel, THE UNKNOWN TERRORIST. It's a harsh story about the power of the Aussie media and a government determined to keep its people scared and compliant. Despite the sad story of Doll, the misunderstood stripper, narrator Humphrey Bower delivers an engaging performance with words that are delightfully unfamiliar. Doll's body is "at sixes and sevens with itself." Her boyfriend listens to "duff music." When she gets scared, she says, "Fix me up with a butamine," a medicine used for heart attacks. And c'mon, who doesn't enjoy an authentic Aussie accent? M.S. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
