"Fortuyn's Ghost" by Mark Greenwood explores the turbulent legacy of Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn, who was assassinated in 2002. The novel delves into the complex themes of politics, identity, and societal division in contemporary Europe. Through a blend of fictional narrative and real historical context, it highlights Fortuyn's controversial views on immigration and multiculturalism, as well as the repercussions of his rise to fame. As characters navigate their own beliefs and challenges, the story intertwines personal struggles with the larger political landscape, ultimately questioning the enduring impact of Fortuyn's ideology on modern society.
