Author Norman Spinrad has posted the first third of his new novel, Osama the Gun, for free at this link.
Spinrad explains that he’s posted the novel as freeware, “because publishers have been rejecting the completed novel for reasons I dare to suggest are largely political, and for reasons that will I believe be obvious to anyone who reads even this portion, they are the same reasons this novel needs to be published and read.” He continues “as far as I’m concerned, this matter transcends the literary in the era in which we all find ourselves, and the reasons why publishers are frightened of publishing Osama the Gun are the very reasons it should be read, and widely, in the west, and in the Islamic world.” He goes into greater detail about those reasons in his YouTube channel “MeTube,” which you can find at this link.
