"The Canadian think tank Alphabet City gets to the heart of post-9/11 existence with this pocket-sized gem focused on the figure of the suspect.... The Toronto symposium that accompanied the book's publication last winter proved how valuable Alphabet City's insistence on interdiscplinarity could ultimately be in enriching and broadening the parameters of humanistic public debate." — Canadian Art "Unlike other Sept. 11-inspired books, this one does not seek to witness or interpret the attacks so much as to account for the philosophical, moral, ethical and legal complexities of suspicion in a time of terror and war. It challenges us to consider not only what it means to be suspicious, but also what it means to suspect - as individuals and as nations. In that sense, it may be the most sweeping Sept. 11 volume to date.... Even the design of Suspect challenges readers. The size of the book - fat and square, about the width of a spread hand - creates the sense of something intimate, or perhaps contraband. The collection begins with a series of images: close-ups of an eye, a retinal scan, the eye printed on the dollar bill, a video camera lens. It's as if the book is literally looking back at readers, a silent surveillance. It looks so certain on the outside, but the inside churns with doubt." — Los Angeles Times Book Review
