Description
The Submission is a novel by Amy Waldman that explores the complexities of grief and art in the aftermath of a devastating terrorist attack. A jury gathers to select a memorial for the victims, but their deliberations are fraught with debate about the claims of grief, the ambiguities of art, and the meaning of Islam. As the jurors' decision is revealed, they must confront the consequences of their choice, including the designer of the memorial, Mohammad Khan, who becomes the focal point of intense scrutiny. The novel delves into the emotional weight of the event on those involved, including the widow Claire Burwell, who finds herself under pressure from various quarters. Through its exploration of these themes, The Submission raises urgent questions about how to remember and understand a national tragedy, and the difficult choices that must be made in the process.
