An Organization of Dreams

A disillusioned writer returns to London. He begins on a story: a sleeper cell of young, glamorous urban terrorists. Gabriella, glamorous trophy wife of a young king-in-exile, holed up in an opulent London riverside penthouse, falls under the spell of a modern-day Che Guevara and, Patty Hearst-style, enlists in The Cause. She is sent to Paris under the 'front' of a drama student aiming at film. She takes her studies exceptionally seriously: encounters Bernard Stiegler, the leading philosopher on the subject of cinema and the human condition, and other luminaries. A police detective looks for the actress, wanting to stop her before she takes the law into her own hands, even though the notion of right and wrong, guilt and innocence has ceased to have a clear meaning. Our writer adopts the persona of a sleuth as he follows these anti-heroes.So our writer/sleuth uncovers events; but is he documenting actuality, or inventing a fiction?
