In this unique combined eyewitness account, thought diary, and monologue on the Twin Tower collapse on Sept. 11, 2001, the author asks: On one of the most momentous days in Twenty-first Century History, what were people really thinking?

In this unique combined eyewitness account, thought diary, and monologue on the Twin Towers collapse on Sept. 11, 2001, the author asks: On one of the most momentous days in Twenty-first Century History, what were people really thinking? Were they all thinking the same thoughts as the pundits and the politicians? Were the bottom 10% thinking the same thoughts as the top 5%?

All of this and more is revealed in this eyewitness account and stream of consciousness reflecting on events and overheard dialogue as the day progresses. The accumulation of disasters, personal and external, in the mind of this novelistic, Dostoevskian or Herzog-like character, now trigger a mixture of fearful, sorrowful, trivial, pragmatic, and even sexual thoughts as he walks through the city, trying to capture his own unique perspective of this turning point in world history. Three years later, and once again eleven years later, there is a reflection on the events and the history that followed: who won, who lost, what did we win or lose, who should celebrate, and who should mourn?

Prepare to be surprised by the book’s contradictions and constant mood shifts, its . . . humanity. Brought to you edited but uncensored from the author of "The Revised Kama Sutra," a novel that Kurt Vonnegut described as “very funny.”
