Oriana Fallaci chronicling her relationship with the attempted assassin of Greek dictatorGeorge Papadopoulos .Plot summary
The book is a pseudo-biography about
Alexandros Panagoulis written in the form of a novel. Fallaci had an intense romantic relationship with Panagoulis. She uses the novel to put forth her view that Panagoulis was assassinated by a vast conspiracy, a view widely shared by many Greeks. ["A Man" Pocket, 1981]The work has had mixed reviews. Some will find the harsh polemic repetitive and disturbing. Fallaci is said to have been angry at Ms Magazine for not reviewing the work and this enhanced her reputation as an anti-feminist.
