Like other Arab-American novels, it focuses on themes related to class, gender, religion, migration/immigration and cultural conflict,[1] with a particular emphasis on the cultural conflict that leads to radicalization of terrorists.[4] Critic Steven Salaita compared the novel to Anouar Majid's Si Yussef.[1] Lalami choose to write the novel in her third language: English, choosing not to use her first two languages: French and Arabic.[2] The New York Times gave the novel a moderately good review saying that "Secret Son is a nuanced depiction of the roots of Islamic terrorism, written by someone who intimately knows one of the stratified societies where it grows" but "Her English prose, although clean and closely observed, lacks music, and her similes can be predictable".[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book| publisher = Syracuse University Press| isbn = 9780815651048| last = Salaita| first = Steven| title = Modern Arab American Fiction: A Reader's Guide| location = Syracuse| date = 2011|chapter = 8.
