Charlie Johnson in the Flames : ウィキペディア英語版 | Charlie Johnson in the Flames
''Charlie Johnson in the Flames'' is the second novel by Canadian academic Michael Ignatieff. The book follows the story of journalist Charlie Johnson who, while covering ethnic violence in the Balkans, witnesses a woman purposely set on fire by a Serbian officer. The event haunts Charlie Johnson who tracks down the officer in an attempt to discover how he could rationalize such an action. Since its publication in October 2003, it has been analysed in several literature journals. It was met with reviews that found the book to be a satisfying thriller but with uneven pacing. ==Background== At the time of publication, author Michael Ignatieff was 56 years old and the director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University.〔 He had previously written numerous non-fiction books, including ''Empire Lite: Nation-Building in Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan'' and ''The Lesser Evil - Political Ethics in an Age of Terror'' (for the Gifford Lectures) which were both published in 2003 along with ''Charlie Johnson in the Flames''. Ignatieff had written two previous novels, ''Asya'' in 1991 and ''Scar Tissue'' in 1993, which was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize.〔
