Broder is also one of the sharpest observers of hypocrisy in Germany, and he is not intimidated by the PC police. After 9/11, he compiled reactions from the intelligensia and published them in “Kein Krieg, Nirgends.” This was to ensure that the oh so insightful analyses of things like the phallic symbolism of the twin towers did not disappear in the dustbin of history. He is always worth listening to.
The linked website is worth checking out from time to time even if you don’t speak German because it also has some posts in English. Benny Peiser is a regular contributor.
Finally, Broder can wax eloquently on lifestyle issues like American breakfasts he has loved. He probably has few fans among the arugula eaters and transfat police. In case you can’t tell, I am a huge fan.
