"Bawer is unquestionably correct, and that fact is quite simply terrifying."
- Stephen Pollard, New York Times Book Review

"Sublimely literate and rational...an immensely important and urgent book."
- Booklist (boxed, starred review)

"An alarming, depressing, brilliant and remarkably courageous book."
- Martin Sieff, Washington Times

"Bruce Bawer has yet again written an excellent book....I truly hope that it will serve as an eye-opener for everyone."
- Geert Wilders

“Written with an urgency and clarity that makes it hard to stop reading and re-reading it. It should be studied by all who wish to understand the forces at work in the West that make an Islamic ‘House of Peace’ a brewing nightmare.”
- Ayaan Hirsi Ali

"With courage and verve, Bruce Bawer builds the case for how 'the West is on the road to sharia'....Bawer rousingly and rightly argues that the West’s unwavering principle must be 'a refusal to sacrifice or compromise liberty - no matter what.'"
- Daniel Pipes, Director, Middle East Forum

 "Liberals should be in the forefront of the defense of free expression
against the deeply disturbing threats Bruce Bawer documents."
- Ron Rosenbaum, author of Explaining Hitler and The Shakespeare Wars

"...the most controversial gay author in modern history." 
- Lynne Cohen, Jewish Tribune

memo from europe



Friday, January 29, 2010, 12:19 A.M. CET: Well, and now Salinger has shuffled off this mortal coil.  Here's my take on his career, originally published in September 1986 and reprinted in my 1988 book Diminishing Fictions. 


 

Thursday, January 28, 2010, 3:02 P.M. CET: And now Louis Auchincloss, one of the great American writers of our time, is dead at 92.  My review of his Collected Stories, quoted in the Times obituary, is here; I also wrote about him here.  Five years ago I was honored to be asked to introduce him at the 92nd Street Y.  He was a remarkable artist and a true gentleman.  If you haven't read him, do so.
