The Submission by Amy Waldman

3.0

---

The Submission is a timely novel about a 9/11 memorial competition in which the submissions are anonymous. The winner turns about to be a Muslim American. As you can imagine, conflict ensues. People end up questioning their beliefs. People end up asking the winner questions they have (in my opinion) no right to ask, and yet they feel entitled to answers...from a fellow American! The novel dragged on a little more than necessary, but the ending, though not predictable, was somewhat satisfying.
