Snip from the Globe and Mail:
A British author who suffered the misfortune of having his novel about a terrorist attack in London come out the very day of last week's bombings is now appealing to readers to tell him whether to continue to promote the book or not.
As one of a growing number of works (such as Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) dealing with post-Sept. 11 terrorism, Chris Cleave's first novel Incendiary was closely watched within the book industry. Cleave had already optioned the film rights in February. The book is being published in 15 or so countries. Print ads were ready for its July 7 U.K. release and posters for the novel were plastered throughout the London Underground.
Then the bombings occurred that same day.
