The Second Plane is Martin Amis' latest book. It's a collection of essays and short stories written in the wake of 9/11. We follow Amis' thought processes that achieve the conclusions outlined below. The book was appraised on
Newsnight Review this week and received a big thumbs-up from two out of three armchair critics (the third was, in fact, a Muslim). I feel this is a book I should order immediately. And before I forget, my brain wasn't what it should be last night and I forgot to include
Saturday (my favorite McEwan novel) in my examples of his religious criticism.
