Author of London Bomb Novel Seeks Advice

Chris Cleave, a UK author whose novel about terrorism, Incendiary, came out on the day of the London bombings, is asking readers if he should continue to promote the book.

Yesterday, Cleave set up a website http://www.chriscleave.com asking readers about the novel, which is basically a letter to Osama bin Laden by a London woman who loses her husband and child to a fictitious terrorist attack at an Arsenal soccer game. “Is it disrespectful to the families of the victims for me to keep endorsing it? Or would it be a greater disrespect if I didn’t?”
