Worst-Case Enthusiasts, Imre Salusinszky , single work column
Imre Salusinszky reflects on recent films and books that feature 'apocalyptic imaginings'.

But when we look at the contemporary arts and ask what is identified as the source of the disater, one extremely plausible villain, Islamofascism, is nowhere to be found.' Salusinszky illustrates his thoughts with reference, among other works, to Andrew McGahan's Underground and Richard Flanagan's The Unknown Terrorist.
