He contrasts the mental perception of Truman Capote’s In chilly Blood with The September 11 fee file, plumbs the attitude of terrorists in works by way of Orianna Fallaci and Jean Genet, maps the continuities among the chilly struggle and the struggle opposed to terrorism, and analyzes the case of a Basque terrorist who attempted to come back to civilian existence.
