Fashion Terrorist: Military Tribunal

New York Dept: There s no reason to doubt Boy s opening statement in the memoir he wrote while awaiting his military tribunal. I love America, the golden bastard. An immigrant strives for success and craves the spotlight. What could be more American? New York s Fashion Week, his own collection these were his goals, according to The Star. His crime was accepting funding for his fashion business from his dubious Brooklyn neighbour, a Pakistani-Canadian, whose other occupation is selling bomb-making fertilizer to Somali terrorists. Boy achieves fame, just not the way he intended; 2006 headlines scream about the Fashion Terrorist arrested on American soil and boyet Boy Hernandez arrived in New York in 2002, a diminutive 25-year-old from Manila, determined to triumph in the fashion world. So how does he end up imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay? In Alex Gilvarry s debut novel, From the Memoirs of a Non-enemy Combatant, satire reigns and worlds collide. There s an indelible lightness about this non-intellectual whose error-laden memoirs come heavily footnoted with corrections. Apolitical, Boy obsesses about girls, dresses, parties and his future. He is both kind and likeable. Not quite an idiot. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
