A private detective pursues a mysterious quarry - Osama Bin Laden: Vigilante - in the 10th-anniversary edition of Lavie Tidhar' s World Fantasy Award-winning metafictional novel. A private detective is hired by a mysterious woman to find a man. . . The quarry? An obscure author of pulp fiction novels featuring one Osama Bin Laden: Vigilante. . . Our detective pursues his quarry from the backwaters of Asia to the Capitals of Europe, the New World, and into a realm of shadows. Here he finds the refugees, ghostly entities haunting reality. Where do they come from? And what do they want?
' Bears comparison with the best of Philip K. Dick' s paranoid alternate-history fantasies. It' s beautifully written and undeniably powerful' * Financial Times * ' Osama is an ingenious inversion of modern history: Osama bin Laden is the central character in a string of pulp novels allegedly written by one Mike Longschott. The terrorist crimes exist, in this novel, in a different realm . . . Excellent, evocative and atmospheric' -- Christopher Priest, award-winning novelist and author of The Prestige ' An awesome book, dark, twisty alt-universe terrorist noir' -- Lauren Beukes, bestselling author of Zoo City
