The Dancer Upstairs is Nicholas Shakespeare's thrilling novel of the search for a Latin American terrorist leader named Ezekiel. Based upon the search for and eventual capture of Peru's Shining Path leader Abimael Guzmán, it calls to mind the masterful work of Graham Greene. With the feature film directed by John Malkovich and starring Javier Bardem about to be released in theaters, and with terror having again forced its way into the public consciousness, it seems apropos to again feature the novel and Nicholas Shakespeare's Bold Type essay "The Search for Guzmán."
