In Donna Tartt’s new novel, a young boy named Theo is caught up in another New York catastrophe, the fictional bombing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As the tragedy recedes and is sewn up into the past, these strange things appear increasingly weird to casual observers. In the aftermath of tragedies, people become obsessive, do strange things. The poster, which I keep seeing around the train, seemed a good corollary to the novel I had just started. While I was reading The Goldfinch, I looked around the BART train one morning and my eyes lit upon a cryptic poster inviting me to discover the real truth about our greatest domestic catastrophe, courtesy of a group called Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth, for short).
