OUTTAKES

Here are the first handful of chapters from the very earliest draft of The Accidental Terrorist—from, oh, around 1999. As you can see, some parts are similar in approach to the final draft, but some are very, very different.

Prologue: A Disciple of the Prophet Joseph Smith
Chapter 1: What Happened Before You Arrived
Chapter 2: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Mormon


MUSIC TO READ BY
