Theoretical: Jarett Kobek, "ATTA"
Author Jarett Kobek is the son of a Turkish immigrant and a graduate of NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. In the summer of 1999, 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta defended a master's thesis that critiqued the introduction of Western-style skyscrapers in the Middle East, and called for a return to the "Islamic-Oriental city." Using this as a departure point, Jarett Kobek's novel ATTA offers a psychedelic biography of Mohamed Atta that circles around a simple question: what if 9/11 was as much a matter of architectural criticism as religious terrorism?
Books will be available at the event, sold by Mobile Libris.
