The Submission by Steven Waldman

In a post-9/11 America grappling with its identity and values, a jury convenes to select a design for a memorial at Ground Zero, only to discover that the winning architect is a Muslim-American. This revelation ignites a fierce national debate, exposing deep-seated prejudices and fears, while challenging the notions of freedom, democracy, and what it means to be American. As the story unfolds, the characters navigate a complex web of personal and political conflicts, ultimately questioning whether art can transcend cultural divides and foster healing in a fractured society.
