Some Types of Intelligence (Novel), Molokai, Hawai’i

Some Types of Intelligence is a novel about the war on terror — about Afghanistan, surveillance, art, and complicity with U.S. empire.

“This novel attempts to grapple with a war that is at once omnipresent and too often invisible. I hope it challenges conventions of what a war story is, and who gets to tell them.”

Cora Currier is a writer, editor, and investigative journalist who has worked at ProPublica, The New Yorker, and The Intercept, where she covered counterterrorism, surveillance, immigration, and other topics. Most recently, she was a reporter for Serial podcast’s season on Guantánamo. Cora’s essays and criticism have appeared in The Nation, The New Republic, Bookforum, and elsewhere. She is also an editor at the feminist magazine Lux. She lives in Hawai’i.
